It depends on the crime and country. Singapore has very little crime and an extremely small prison population. They use alternative punishment. This man might have been caned or whipped instead of probation. He would have a punishment to remember and never gotten the idea that he was righteous.So.........the Annapolis mass murderer was just your standard crazy. No politics about it at all.
He was one of these Facebook stalkers and they convicted him of making this woman's life hell for two years, but gave him probation, no prison time. What a mistake. The local Annapolis newspaper wrote about it as a cautionary warning to people, he sued them for defamation and lost since he'd been convicted for exactly what they talked about. So he broods about this and comes in and shoots up the newspaper office. All this takes YEARS --- he does a lot of angry rumination, apparently.
There is no way to fix any of this unless we develop a society that has zero tolerance for crime. Anyone does bad things, they get promptly deported or executed. Don't bother with prisons except in the rare case of doubt about whodunnit. Quickly and permanently getting rid of the criminals would definitely solve the crime problem and clean up the sorry genetics putting out so many criminals, too.
