Replying to Avatar a source familiar with the matter

Slightly more seriously, I think incarceration as punishment is unwise. I would prefer to see the death penalty for serious (especially violent) crimes, and corporal punishment for minor (especially property) crimes.

I prefer a punishment that restores the victim to their status before the crime happened and hopefully prevents reoccurances. Steal a TV? Return it with like 10% compensation of it's value. This gets difficult at violence like stabbings or rape though. Sadly, I lean philosophically pacifist though so maybe banishment to a desert or something.. Perhaps that's just the Aussie in me 🤔

Risk vs reward.

Joe goes and steals a 50k worth car. If he gets caught he would be 5k down. If not, he's 50k up. Decent reward for the risk taken. Would Joe go for it?

10% was just an example. Return the car in fully working condition and pay $5K is it still worth it for Joe? For a joy ride? I doubt it?
