Good luck parking a car on the street if you'd be able to commit gta and get off with an apology and a class you zone out in. It should feel terrifying to commit a crime and the law should behave vindictively. What good is the social contract otherwise?

But it doesn't work! If it worked, there would be no theft. Clearly prison is seen as a minor deterrent, is of obviously no use regarding actual rehabilitation... and is very, very expensive.

That’s a bold statement since I don’t remember a question on the census asking me how many crimes I didn’t commit due to fear of retribution.
