Default neat way to ABSOLUTELY lower the crime rate

Venezuela had their biggest drop in severe crimes and murders in the last 2 decades thanks to massive migration of military age males of that country....



not what you expected is it?

Sending our prisoners to the lowest bid country would really cut our crime rate. 2yrs plus off to China, Mexico, whatever the lowest bid is. Costs us air fare and 5 bucks a day? Bet they won't want to go back to crime.

If one had the appetite for it, the crime rate could be lowered quickly and easily.

Exactly, if you really want to lower the crime rate, it can be done, but you really have to want to lower the crime rate.

How about we try treating those who commit crimes as criminals - seemed to have some success with that in the past.

That isn't the woke way , criminals are treated as victims, with no consideration for the real victims. And if the real victims use force to resist the criminals, then they are treated as criminals. And that is why the situation has deteriorated to the state that it is at now.

"mentally unfit to stand trial"

"cannot be named under the Youth Ciminal Justice Act"

"given credit for time served in custody"


Rescinding all 3 would be a good start, and continue from there.

Trojan horse. How government take rule over the citizens. Likely the plan for North America with all new young male immigrants. Not many women. Yeah I won’t be donating my rifles to the government anytime soon. No wonder they push to defund the police. The want there own army, who have no ties to North America.

These military age men are still committing crimes, they just aren't committing them in Venezuela.
