Re: Judicial Efficiencies
Prison sentences are not deterrents. Rehabilitation is the only way to bring repeat offending down, and preventing the initial criminal offence is down to improving our cultural behaviours towards eachother. Is it a coincidence that a significant cut in youth activity funding had happened in the names of austerity and youth crime rates have jumped?
Improving the lives of youths in deprived areas is what should be funded, not bigger prisons to lock them away in. Give them opportunities, not restrictions.
