How to stop violent reoffenders: give them drugs

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

Actually those are all RAW numbers of murders, which I believe is a pretty good indication of the volume of violent crime. (Harder to hide those numbers, too.)

And I provided exactly the same numbers for the US. The U.S. is a good deal larger, but they all have a significantly lower rate of crime than the U.S. As such, I don't find it surprising they hand out fewer and shorter sentences than the U.S. does.

You, of course, are going to claim that their lower and fewer sentences CAUSES the lower rate of crime...

Their prisons are not fun

only drug they need to be given is whatever cocktail is being used now to put 'em down.  The term 'violent re offender' is, well offensive.

Uh, you do realize that the article covers newly released first offenders as well, right?

The study is showing that giving them drugs to treat mental illness that we give to plenty of other people tends to prevent first time offenders from becoming repeat offenders.

Especially if it helps them become productive members of society,  I think it's a good idea.  I don't think we're talking about murderers here, but people who have committed lesser violent acts.
