@vfrmedia @EF @ChrisMayLA6 The problem with the theory of #deterrence, generally speaking, is that it doesn't work. It works for the law-abiding, like you & me, but not for the people it needs to work for - the #criminals. If it DID, our #jails would be empty, instead of full to bursting. #Prison works as #punishment, but not as a #deterrent. Some #prisoners can be #rehabilitated, but that needs effort.

In a society like #Singapore that's arguably skewed to #TypeX people, surely more punitive & #deterrent measures are necessary to deal with callous repeat offenders?🤔 #SaveLives #kopi

#STForum: #Jailterm necessary as #deterrence matters in #careless #driving cases @straits_times
🧐"The consequences of an honest mistake can range fr financial loss to lives being upended.. When #death occurs, we need to just think of those left behind: someone losing a son, a father, a sibling, a close friend or a #breadwinner.. People r often guided by te severity of consequences attached to their actions. A #jail term can serve as a powerful #deterrent"

This is a superb paper (open access too!) that explains clearly the difference between a conventional and a #nuclear #deterrent. Why nuclear weapons are superior - and why they are, perhaps counterintuitively, *defensive* weapons. #Defence #Strategy www.jstor.org/stable/26533...

Expert backs push to seize #drunk #drivers' cars
👍"Office of the Attorney-General's new guidelines on #drunkdriving cases, which enable #courts to #confiscate an offender's #vehicle to deter future offences.. drunk driving cases reflect a clear disregard for the #safety & well-being of others, which could be grounds for asset forfeiture.. the measure will lose its #deterrent effect if it isn't #consistently #enforced as a result of #corruption" #responsibility #governance

I did a little dive to the Ruzzian missile and drone onslaught against #Ukraine. Not just to know more about Ukraine, but also to understand better the threat to the rest of #Europe. TL;DR: Eastern Europe NEEDS independent conventional AND #nuclear #deterrent. A thread.

#Macron promises new Russia #sanctions, discusses French nuclear deterrent for #Europe
French President Emmanuel Macron promised to impose new sanctions on Russia if it rejects an unconditional ceasefire. He also suggested that #France is open to stationing its #nuclear #weapons in other #European countries as a #deterrent against #Russia.

RECOMMENDATION: The #Baltic region countries and #Ukraine, perhaps augmented by like-minded countries like South #Korea, should begin a joint R&D program to develop #nuclear weapons and their delivery systems, and the required infrastructure. The goal: a credible independent "minimum #deterrent."

Taiwan’s former president urges US prioritize aiding #Ukraine over #Taiwan
“They should do whatever they can to help the Ukrainians,” Tsai said. “We [Taiwan] still have time.”
During her Halifax appearance, Tsai argued that Ukraine’s success against Russian aggression would serve as a global deterrent.
"A #Ukrainian #victory will serve as the most effective #deterrent to future #aggression," she said.

Using LED lighting on the underside of #surfboards or #kayaks could deter great white #sharkattacks, new research suggests.
In an Australian-led study using seal-shaped decoys, underside lighting disrupted the ability of great whites to see silhouettes against the sunlight above, reducing the rates at which the #sharks followed and attacked the artificial prey. The brighter the lights, the more effective the #deterrent was.

#Deterrent signal needed to ensure trust in #healthcare
" #doctors possess significantly more #medical knowledge than their #patients. This #imbalance creates opportunities for potential #dishonesty.. Revoking a doctor’s ability to make #insurance & #MediSave claims for six months may be insufficient to deter such #offences.. In contrast, #fraudulent claims made against SkillsFuture were met with more severe consequences" #Singapore #governance #ethics

Similar dynamics are at work in #abortion #litigation.
Many patients are loathe to challenge #abortion #laws--because of the fear of reprisals, violence, or being ostracized in a small community. These fears have a #deterrent effect on rights litigation.
Which is why #ThirdParty #standing has been so important. Most of the abortion cases that have been litigated in federal courts have been brought by providers on behalf of themselves & their patients.

How were the sentences decided for duo #convicted in #billiondollar #moneylaundering case?
"Their charges involving #criminal proceeds come under the #Corruption, Drug Trafficking & Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act.. This section carries a jail term of up to 10 years, a fine of up to S$500k, or both"
#Singapore: 13-14mths jail despite their massive crimes is not sufficiently #deterrent & they are young enough to re-offend. Cf to maids' theft!⬇️ #justice

Many veterans of the #Trump admin have a similar warning for #Ukraine as it battles #Russia’s invasion. “US support for Ukraine would end,” said a snr US official who served under Trump & #Biden.
“The point is, he saw absolutely no point in #NATO,” Kelly said. “He was just dead set against having troops in #SouthKorea, again, a deterrent force, or having troops in #Japan, a #deterrent force.”
