I don't understand the question. We have a horrific and escalating wave of bad people doing bad things, so we have lock them up or kill them. So what needs to be justified>
There’s obviously an implied correlation between the graphs.
Most of the people nominally locked up for drug offenses came to the attention of police by committing some crime, and proving that they were on drugs and carrying drugs was easier than proving whatever crime brought to them to attention of police.
The obvious implication is that what we’re doing is not curving/preventing the crime. I’m not making a proposal or an argument about morality
Lets have some beatings Singapore style, and a whole lot of summary executions Duterte style. Proven highly effective.
Yeah well that could create other problems. I’m not sure if you’re trying to pretend I’m implying that
Well, perhaps the Philippines has problems, but Singapore is doing fine. Nice place, safe, clean, civilized. Great medical system. What is not to like? Except I expect that criminals do not much like it.
No. I’m not making any arguments against Singapore
OK. Singapore is tough on drugs, tough on crime, tough on graffiti, tough on chewing gum, and has near zero crime problem. Also has a justice system in which the obstacles to locking up bad people have all been conveniently removed.
And yet it seems to me that, at least for people of my race and class, the chance of being wrongfully convicted and punished in Singapore is far less than in the west.
