@kmele For premeditated crimes where threat of punishment is a deterrent, increasing the odds of getting caught allows us to decrease the severity of the punishment while maintaining the deterrent effect... This is why I do support funding a highly disciplined & effective police force
@kmele Increasing economic opportunity in high crime areas and decreasing the odds of being falsely accused or harassed while innocent are also important- anything to increase the gap between expected value of breaking the law vs expected value of abiding by it...
