Officer Friendly is a separate program from scared straight

Yes, yes, that is my point. Scared Straight is about scaring them, while Officer Friendly is about becoming *less* scary.

Lol yes by scaring kids into abiding by the law so that they don’t become unfriendly.

One is a carrot, the other is a threat of a stick. People are pointing out the harms of the threat of the stick. You, meanwhile, are trying to claim they're both threats. No. Listen to what *everyone* is saying rather than continuously doubling down when you don't understand.

Except that no one is threatening anyone with a stick here. Besides, whether or not this strategy of parenting is effective isn’t particularly relevant. It is common, and so it can’t be held against this guy.

"No one is threatening anyone with a stick here" If that's true, this isn't a "Scared Straight" thing: that's what SS is. "It is common" Calling the cops on your kid? No, no it's not. Your argument was that it's common because SS is common...You're just talking in circles.

No my argument was that the guy doesn’t deserve the hate that he is getting. I’m saying that whether or not it is effective isn’t particularly relevant.

I agree it isn't particularly important whether it's actually effective. But, that's not the only thing that people are calling you on. They're frustrated you're doubling down on other bad arguments/assumptions you're making & just focusing on the point that you think you've won.

I’m not doubling down on anything. Plenty of people have said it’s not effective while not providing any evidence that it isn’t just op-Ed pieces.
