ICYMI @chesaboudin Certainty over severity. Late criminologist Mark Kleiman, "the key to deterrence is that punishment be swift and certain, not that it be severe."https://www.propublica.org/article/philadelphia-homicide-surge …
"Generally speaking the length of the sentences are less important than the certainty of the sentence". https://qualitypolicing.com/violencereduction/voiceofchicago/ … Same goes for drug dealers @chesaboudin When criminals know they will be held accountable for their crimes they will alter their behavior.
