Amazing how, without criminals, crime seems to reduce to near nothing.
You can give top tier healthcare, universal income, free education, expert sanitation services, and yet, there will still be crime. But get rid of criminals, and crime suddenly goes away.
Not to zero, sure, some crimes are committed accidentally, or by first-time offenders, but the largest indicator for if someone will commit a crime, is if they have committed one prior. To not address that, would be like not asking if you have a history of heart conditions when getting assessed for heart attack risk.
Criminals are literally their own demographic. Regardless of any subsidiary correlations about race, sex, or religion; criminals are their own demographic. And they explicitly exist to predate on the rest of society. There is little else to do besides remove them from society, or wait until they are so old they stop committing violent crimes.
"But you're not solving the root cause of violent crime!"
Yes we are. We're imprisoning the root cause of violent crime.
The criminals.
