Harsher punishments, a safer society? (source: https://www.eur.nl/en/news/harsher-punishments-safer-society)
Empirical studies have found that increasing the probability of punishment has a greater effect on crime than the severity of punishment (source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165176512004235).

Volunteer in #Nottingham #fined for leaving 1 kale leaf in shopping #trolley
She was fined by #privatised enforcement agent contracted by #council, who was incentivised to issue as many fines as possible
- This shouldn’t happen any more
New #Defra guidance clearly bans ‘pay per #fine’ incentivised #punishment
But #councils are so far ignoring this guidance, which has not been publicised

JASON: The curse of children’s blood be on you!
Avenging Justice, blast your being!
MEDEA: What god will hear your imprecation,
Oath-breaker, guest-deceiver, liar?

φονία τε Δίκη.

A quotation from Robert Green Ingersoll
Is it necessary that Heaven should borrow its light from the glare of Hell?
Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

Whoever that E.S. character was just sent her into one hell of a trap. Sure, she got to see that Santa was indeed real... perhaps a little too real right now!

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
In this world we never will be perfectly civilized as long as a gallows casts its shadow upon the earth. As long as there is a penitentiary, within the walls of which a human being is immured, we are not a perfectly civilized people. We shall never be perfectly civilized until we do away with crime.
And yet, according to this Christian religion, God is to have an eternal penitentiary; he is to be an everlasting jailer, an everlasting turnkey, a warden of an infinite dungeon, and he is going to keep prisoners there forever, not for the purpose of reforming them — because they are never going to get any better, only worse — but for the purpose of purposeless punishment. And for what? For something they failed to believe in this world. Born in ignorance, supported by poverty, caught in the snares of temptation, deformed by toil, stupefied by want — and yet held responsible through the countless ages of eternity! No man can think of a greater horror; no man can dream of a greater absurdity.Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1884-01-20), “Orthodoxy,” Tabor Opera House, Denver, ColoradoMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

A quotation from Joseph Addison
CATO: Forbear, Sempronius! — see they suffer death,
But in their deaths remember they are men.
Strain not the laws to make their tortures grievous.Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Cato, Act 3, sc. 5, l. 60ff (1713)More about this quote: wist.info/addison-joseph/82136…

NURSE: But not long
Can the extremes of grandeur ever last;
And heavier are the curses which it brings
When Fortune visits us in all her wrath.
[ΤΡΟΦΌΣ: Τὰ δ᾽ ὑπερβάλλοντ᾽
οὐδένα καιρὸν δύναται θνητοῖς,
μείζους δ᾽ ἄτας, ὅταν ὀργισθῇ
δαίμων οἴκοις, ἀπέδωκεν.]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 127ff (431 BC) [tr. Wodhull (1782)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/euripides/80709/

A quotation from Judith Martin
There are plenty of people who say, “We don’t care about etiquette, but we can’t stand the way so-and-so behaves, and we don’t want him around!” Etiquette doesn’t have the great sanctions that the law has. But the main sanction we do have is in not dealing with these people and isolating them because their behavior is unbearable.
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
Interview (1995-03-06) by Virginia Shea, “Miss Mannners’ Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Internet Behavior,” Computerworld, Vol. 29, No. 10Sourcing, notes: wist.info/martin-judith/78045/
