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

https://theconversation.com/why-criminal-justice-shouldnt-just-be-about-what-punishment-people-deserve-290393; https://theconversation.com/people-in-the-uk-favour-harsher-punishment-than-norwegians-belief-in-free-will-may-help-explain-why-286169; https://www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/16/6/868 (open access). "The more strongly someone believes in #free #will, the harsher the #punishment they favour for #criminals." This is quite logical: if you believe that a #criminal act results from a free #choice, then you will believe the #person making that choice should be punished for making it. Our criminal #justice #system is founded on #belief in free will - but what if that belief is false?

CW: Poll: corporal punishment in schools
Did you ever get hit, paddled, or any other violent punishment when you were in school?
I'm talking about K-12 school years or whatever roughly equivalent term is used in your country.

Turns out there was never a real #egg shortage in the #US during the last egg crisis. Production was substantially unaffected, yet #prices skyrocketed. Calling it theft is an understatement. This is economic treason! #Society was the victim. #Crimes like this one demands the harshest #punishment, as #dissuasion shall be a #priority, in the interests of all vs the dishonest fews.

Due to the US's increasing criminalisation of dissent, I've decided to shift this blog to being entirely about Buddhism and comparative religions and cultures, in which I have a BA and about 40 years of experience. This blog's archives have been updated accordingly.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
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

We are to look upon it as more beneficial, that many guilty persons should escape unpunished, than one innocent person should suffer. The reason is, because it’s of more importance to community, that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt should be punished; for guilt and crimes are so frequent in the world, that all of them cannot be punished; and many times they happen in such a manner, that it is not of much consequence to the public, whether they are punished or not.
But when innocence itself, is brought to the bar and condemned, especially to die, the subject will exclaim, it is immaterial to me, whether I behave well or ill; for virtue itself, is no security. And if such a sentiment as this, should take place in the mind of the subject, there would be an end to all security what so ever.John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)

KARMA-FREE TRUMP 💎
Donald Trump does not need to be hated in order to be seen clearly.
There is no need to imagine that #karma will #punish him.
No need to turn him into the #supernatural embodiment of #evil
No need to diagnose his soul.His vanity, grievance, cruelty, #fear ,appetite, and enormous need for #attention are serious enough.
#Hatred does not improve our #perception.
It distorts it.
It makes the hated person larger, darker, and more #powerful in the #mind than they already are.
It also gives them permanent residence in the #nervous #system.
Trump should be opposed when he lies, harms, corrupts, intimidates, degrades institutions, or participates in or encourages cruelty.
That opposition can be #firm.
It should be relentless.
It can name exactly what is happening.
But hatred is not required.
Nor is #spiritual #fantasy.
No one knows what happens to Donald Trump after #death.
No one knows whether the #universe keeps a #punishment #ledger.
What is known, though, is that actions have consequences here.
People are harmed.
Truth is weakened.
Fear spreads.
#Cowardice becomes #contagious.
But cruelty does not have to set the terms.
#Kindness as strength can be encouraged in the face of cruelty.
#Courage in the face of intimidation.
#Truth in the face of deception.
#Decency in the face of degradation.
Restraint in the face of vengeance.
#Clarity in the face of confusion.
The task is not to hate the man.
The task is to see clearly, speak plainly, protect those being harmed, and refuse to let cruelty decide who we become.

In the US, prisoners are often charged room and board in prison, whilst also being pressed to work for little or no money, meaning they come out in debt, making them either be indentured to a job (which is hard to find with a criminal record) or return to a life of crime.

CW: Old Blog: erotica tied to a tree naked in Sweden
Thank you, @schlupf :) your stunning picture reminded me of this:
Open Air Punishment: Stripped, tied to a tree and belt whipped.
"It hits me again, that we’re outdoors, that anyone could come along. That I’m tied to a tree in just my knickers and my shoes, about to be punished. That you’re both fully dressed, and oh what that does to me. Mmmh."

The God of Hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A God who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved — cursed, not worshiped. A heaven presided over by such a God must be below the lowest hell. I want no part in any heaven in which the saved, the ransomed and redeemed will drown with shouts of joy the cries and sobs of hell — in which happiness will forget misery, where the tears of the lost only increase laughter and double bliss.

"Some governments are lowering the age of criminal responsibility. That may backfire"
"The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child recommends a MACR of at least 14" (minimum age of criminal responsibility)
"In 1998 Tony Blair’s Labour government abolished a common-law presumption—which prosecutors had to rebut—that children aged 10-13 are doli incapax, or incapable of wrongdoing."

Politicians are listening to voters angry about dramatic and well-publicised crimes—and you can understand why. Indonesians were horrified when a 12-year-old stabbed her mother 26 times, killing her. In Colombia a 15-year-old boy last year shot and killed a senator campaigning to be president. In Sweden and elsewhere, gangs use children to attack properties or people.

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.

SHAME IS LEARNED
Shame is body-identification with a whip in its hand.
The body eats, shits, sweats, smells, wants, ages, leaks, trembles, hungers, and dies.
None of this is guilt.
It is just mammal life.
But the mind learns to look at the body through other people’s fear.
A look.
A tone.
A punishment.
A withdrawal of love.Then the body becomes evidence.
“Something is wrong with me.”
That is the error.
Guilt may say, “I did something wrong.”
Shame says, “I am wrong.”
Mind training begins here:
Do not attack the body for being a body.
Do not worship it either.
Just stop accusing it.
The body is innocent.
It is an instrument.
It needs breath, warmth, food, washing, rest, and kindness.
Shame says, “Hide this.”
Kindness says, “Meet this.”
That is the whole turn.

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 Terry Pratchett
And Sergeant Colon once again knew a secret about bravery. It was arguably a kind of enhanced cowardice — the knowledge that while death may await you if you advance it will be a picnic compared to the certain living hell that awaits should you retreat.
