As I’m on this sub – I know literally everything about every legal or illegal scenario both now and in any possible iteration of the future.
If I was in charge, the gardai would be obsolete because people would be assessed at birth for their potential to commit crimes and entire generations of people forced to live in small totally sealed treehouses in Carlow, surviving only on whatever woodland creatures they could catch.
7/10 for me. Those damn kids committing less crimes screwed me for a PhD in criminology
I Nolan nothing about crime and or justice
9/10 – underestimated the numbers pleading guilty for serious offences.
“Research suggests that increasing the severity of sentences has a deterrent effect that reduces crime?”
This question assumes that we are sending people to prison to change them, or stop them committing crimes.
When realistically most hardened criminals aren’t going to stop committing crimes. So prison is just punishment.
7/10 happy enough with that
7/10
8/10, surprised by the number of road traffic offensed and guilty pleas.
9 points out of 10 (90%),
What happens in reality vs what is portrayed in the media are two very, very different things.
I’d suggest for everyone to go spend a morning in the CCJ and see our justice system at work.
8/10 for me.
8/10.
So you’re telling me longer sentences and more jail time doesn’t reduce crime? But r/Ireland said so!

Given we have sooooo many experts here on crime and punishment I’ll be expecting 10/10 from lots of you.
