We prosecute property crimes every day. For better or worse. And it's far more humane and less expensive to pay restitution than it is to send people to our failed, massively expensive and criminogenic prisons.https://twitter.com/bay_snark/status/1274737205299122178 …

It’s not less expensive when you take into account that if people are not threatened by prison they will commit more crime which you’ll have to pay restitutions for.

You need a citation to prove that if there isn't a penalty for the crime someone will be more apt to commit it???

Yep. Absolutely need a citation. The deterrence theory, like many of the theories underpinning the criminal legal system, is unsubstantiated by actual data—just junk science understandings of human behavior. And the consequences are steep.

Didn't know citations were needed for common sense these days. No wonder it's such a shit show
