First, legalize drugs as they should not be illegal.
Then, major jail terms for most other crimes. Rape.... no less than 25 years. Murder.... no less than life. Add a weapon to the crime.... add 10 years to the sentence.
Once in jail..... no weights, no TV, no smokes. Toss in hard labor, plain food.
NO PAROLE.

Perhaps because in many cases life isn't handed out.
I believe there is a deterence value although neither you or I could prove it either way.
Of course I wouldn't expect a reasonable response from someone who says.... "sexual crimes?- we eliminate child abuse and sexual repression"

Young? Well hardly.
Sex crimes need major jail time. Not the limp slap on the wrist we hand out now.
And as to someone saying.... "ahhh...then young genius" then calling them pompous, well that's at least good for a laugh. Thanks.

um, you are wrong.
terribly terribly wrong, I suggest you study some basic psychology.
you see.....people who committ sexual crimes, like molesting a child, well....its not like they do it because it makes them feel good. lots of the time, hmmm...maybe all of the time, the victimizer, was once the victim...and when they reach adulthood, they keep the cycle alive. Threatening the public with JAIL TIME or...even THE DEATH PENALTY, doesnt do shit, it may curb the crime rate a little bit, but elimanate, no.
exhibit A- the united states of america.

NOTHING will eliminate crime. I never claimed otherwise. There will always be those who get off on committing crimes.
Learn to read. The question asked was how do we deter crime. I don't see the word "eliminate" in the subject of the thread.
All I want is the criminals removed from society.
And perhaps you should do a bit of studying as the US doesn't have the highest violent crime rate. Not to mention the crime rate in the US has been dropping over the last 20 years as a Google search using the terms "violent crime rate" will show you.

the victimizer, was once the victim...and when they reach adulthood, they keep the cycle alive.
And as for this statement, many who were abused or the victim of crimes as children, go on to lead perfectly "normal" lives. I'm one. I know many others. And of those who go on to lead criminal type lives, society can be blamed also. Not however for the reasons I'm guessing you think, but because we coddle these scumbag criminals. Perhaps if we spent more time as a society punishing those who deserve it without making excuses for peoples behavior, and less time worrying about the so called victimless crimes such as drugs and so called sexual crimes between consenting adults, we'd be much better off.
The first step is to stop listening to those who would make excuses for criminals.
The second step, get rid of most of the asinine laws we endure today. Allow people to do whatever they wish as long as no one else is physically or financially harmed. One the harm is caused, slam the door closed on the assholes committing the crime.
The third step, make jail a truly miserable place to be.

Seems you missed this from one of my earlier posts in this very thread.... "Perhaps if we spent more time as a society punishing those who deserve it without making excuses for peoples behavior, and less time worrying about the so called victimless crimes such as drugs and so called sexual crimes between consenting adults, we'd be much better off."

It's not just you. It's funny that socialists recommend theft to eliminate theft.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

It doesn't surprise me. Anyone who thinks socialism will work is to stupid to waste air anyway. HUman nature will prevent socialism from ever working. Unless of course the good fairy comes down, waves her magic wand, and *poof*..... we'll all live in harmony.

Don't let them derail you into yet another debate re Capitalism vs Socialism. The topic is how to derail crime.
On that topic, I have nothing to add -- y'all have covered it succinctly.
Oops -- I lie. I would add that the death penalty needs to be carried out more often. When it almost never is carried out, it has next to no deterrent effect and might as well not even be on the books.

Very true but I would like to see DNA, video, or confessions be mandatory for a death sentence. There may be other requirements that escape me now.
I would NOT want to see the death penalty handed out in most eye-witness cases as many people are not very observant.
