1. As Judge Judy (?) once said, you can show mercy to the criminal or you can show mercy to their victims. You can’t do both.

2. In that case, we obviously need to do less of it.

3. Caning/whipping works just as well, and costs less.

4. Well dah, Canada flip flops every couple decades between retribution and rehabilitation the first one works the second one is not the taxpayer’s job. I’m in favor of work gangs all year long, work them half to death and they’ll earn skill sets and be two tired to cause trouble in prison.

   1. Agreed. As it is, prison is basically crime college. We could take a page outta China’s book, and use prisons to make good citizens with a military-style regimented life for the prisoners.

5. mass deportation leads to a reduction in infiltration

   1. Let’s try the El Salvador approach?

6. Incarceration only reduces crime on the outside, but inside crime may still be rampant, so over all there may not be much of a change.

   1. Am I reading that right? GYM taking a position of no change with incarceration?”

      And so “not much of a change,” because the crime that’s still occurring is “on the inside???”

      Your honor, the prosecution rests!

7. Nonsense! We’ve been conditioned to believe that “punishment is no deterrent”. That’s been preached to me since college in 1974. So we have collectively agreed to “mainstream” criminals onto our streets … and into our homes. How DARE anyone try to change the narrative now.

   1. Careful, Kenji… Your sarcasm is so subtle, Liebs will actually believe you’re sincere!

      1. Sorry … I DO need to be more careful, lest someone cheer me on the left … or … oh, I don’t know … call me Putin propagandist or something…

8. When I got caught smoking in grade 3 what kept me from re-offending? It wasn’t the parents therapy session/discussion telling me how this wasn’t the right thing to do. It was the session that followed with the wooden spoon that really helped clear up any potential lingering confusion I may have had exiting the therapy session/discussion.

   1. Are you still 3 feet tall.
      I heard it stunts your growth.
      Or was grade 3 a long time 😉

   2. I uttered a bad word in grade 1. My teacher presented me with a bar of soap in front of the entire class.
      Message received.

      1. “Mommy, is “Rotterdam” a bad word?”

         “Why no, I don’t think so.”

         “Well, my teacher told the class that she had poison ivy, and I said I hope it would Rotterdam arm off, and she said I’d used a bad word!”

   3. I got caught writing on the walls of my school at recess in, let’s say, grade 5. At the office my options were:
      A – the strap
      B – a phone call home
      My response was to put out my hand. Got the strap. The principal (a nun) held to the bargain and my parents never knew.
      I never did any graffiti ever again.

9. Well, the left almost understood this five years ago.

   Remember ‘two weeks to flatten the curve’?

   So…to help society, we kept the icky sick people away from all of us by all of us staying away from everyone. Two weeks became two months (which is BETTER! of course), which became two years.

   You see, keeping bad people away from good people for longer is BETTER!

   You could almost call it doubleplusgood!

   No, they didn’t learn anything…

10. If incarceration reduces crime, then incarceration should become cheaper over time.
    A worthwhile investment and protects the public. A needed bonus.

    VS the illegal Liberal gun prohibitions. Which does nothing for public safety while denying property rights of legally acquired property to pretend to gullible supporters they’re dealing with public safety: while at the same time are releasing violent criminals on bail the same day they commit a heinous crime.
    This policy should be in the dictionary under liars and hypocrites.

    1. I was once in a MOT office paying a for a license plate on a car I bought. They had posters up saying “Threats of violence and intimidation will not be tolerated.”
       When my turn came up, I commented to the clerk “Kinda ironic to have those posters up here, dontcha think?” She said “I don’t understand.” I told her that without threats of violence and intimidation, there wouldn’t be anybody in here. She sorta went deer in the headlights as I left.

11. I before E except after C.

12. Corporal punishment must work or inmates would not participate in it. Also, drugs and violence in jails are de facto legal since additional time for participants is almost never a consequence. Addicts tend to complicate matters.

13. Whodathunkit?

    Not liberals!

14. Why is crime so bad? The Lieberals identified criminals as supporters back in the 1970s.
    “These principles were made clear by Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal government in an Oct. 7, 1971 address to Parliament by then solicitor general Jean-Pierre Goyer.”
    “(O)penly acknowledged its intent was “to stress the rehabilitation of individuals rather than the protection of society.””

    Of course, even the PC’s of the time claimed it was “Society’s Fault.”

15. Criminals made up their minds they deserve your stuff..
    —
    In the blink of an eye they made that choice.. Then we hand them 1000 excuses so we can also be criminals..
    That’s how socialism works..

16. SFU back up to their old tricks. seems like they can’t resist disinformation… ten bucks says they excluded FN youth from the study. maybe let the Fraser Institute tackle that issue for a more balanced conclusion.

17. Three hots and a cot, drugs, and sex in the shower. What life.
