The premise that harsher penalties don't deter crime is false. It's grounded in sympathy for criminals and not justice for the victims.

I didn’t delve too far into the studies, but studies in general are so often manipulated to a particular outcome
Like I said, I would like to see a study on the differences between say MS13, the crips, the hells angels behavior might affect crime rates
How the availability or not of guns in a particular area might affect crime rates
How many victims are accessible at night in different cities might affect crime rates
But nope, we found a way to isolate out all of those plus the dozens of others that could be proposed given more thought, and isolated it down to sentencing length
