    There does seem to be that level of atitude to a certain level

    You make alot of very good points, especially towards white collar crime, it is very hard to discourage but i would love to know the figures on reoffenders after incarcertation

    Seems to me that the ones who got away with it see no wrong and the ones in jail are unlikely to reoffend

    Patty crimes can lead to further dangers though

    What level of petty did you have in mind

    Non violent crimes essentially. Apart from rehabilitation, which Is something so complex that we don't have a good idea how to go about it in a lot of cases, making non violent individuals contribute something back to society seems like the best solution. At least until rehabilitation has become more of an 'exact science.'

    Would house robberies and car theft come under this?

    MOD NOTE:

    You can't have a punishment without a conviction, and since nobody has been convicted, there isn't anything to discuss regarding the bus case. And while this may be an open forum, it still needs to be run within the boundaries of Irish law. So let's stop this line of discussion here.

    Just to be clear: if people would like to discuss punishments for hypothetical crimes, or comment on punishments handed out for an actual conviction, that's ok. But please do not speculate about cases that are under review, i.e. cases that are at this time allegations.

    If you have any questions, PM me.

    I'm thinking it would depend on if they involved damage or likely danger to others. A so called 'friendly' robbery might not harm people even if involved in confrontation. Perhaps doing community service in the area which they effected might be more likely to have a lasting negatory result for repeated crime. Reducing the sense of detachment and showing how people and communities are directly influenced. Empathy building essentially.

    I dont think there is anything that could be counted as friendly robbery, if i was to catch somone robbing my house i would be out like flint fists first

    I know the law allows for this now ( to some degree ) but if i was to make sure of my own health how would peple feel if i kicked the assailant until i was sure i was safe
