Anger puts the desire for justice and fairness, and the desire actually to lessen crime, on the back burner. NOTHING lessens crime more reliably than the perp no longer being on the planet. And can't work worse or more distastefully than the present system. For the crying circles in society, this is probably true.

(to me, anyway; maybe you're part of a school of thought?; I haven't read much about criminology recently) I haven't read much about criminology and claim no particular knowledge of it. If what I said is part of a school of thought, I never heard of it. It was something I conjured up on my own from an outline of the practical requirements, which are to make the victim as whole as possible and to protect society from criminals, neither of which the present system does well. I enjoy noodling about systems and how they might be redesigned. I'm glad you found it of some value. Something TP said reminded me of one of my favorite quotes: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -Aristotle
