How about the differences between the ratios of the drugs of choice in the area might affect crime rates?

How about how the weather condition differences in different areas might affect crime rates? Is it easy to mug people when it’s 10 below zero out?

But nope, it’s all about sentencing length

You're wasting your time

"I linked to a study"

"People I never met have studied it"

It's common sense that if a repeat offender is locked up, he won't commit additional crimes against the public while being locked up. The premise that harsher penalties don't deter crime is a strawman. The question that should be asked is, does the penalty fit the crime on an individual case by case basis.

What we should be debating is the root of criminal behavior which is primarily boys being raised by single mothers, but they won't touch that.
