Sentencing, Murder and Hate Crimes

Sure, getting hysterical about potential reoffenders is much better. You cannot create a crime free society, no matter how much you tell yourself you can.

To be honest I couldn’t care less if someone like this moved in next to me.

Maybe you should be more concerned about the ones who haven’t been caught yet, because they are better at their game than their counterparts..

I can’t think of any reason to invite some stranger into my home, but thank you for the suggestion.

Look, I simply disagree with you that everyone who has offended in some shape of form will reoffend. Nobody here is saying that sexual preferences can be “cured”, but I don’t think everyone will certainly reoffend. But go ahead and be paranoid and angry if you enjoy it.

no i haven´t. so wheres it stop, 1,2,3 4 murders? Brevik is a pure example of and i use the word only in a loose sense; liberal hypocrisy. it either is or isn´t punishment. its a classic example. its like the Nuremburg trials and other things like that. sometimes the most sense is punishment for punishments sake.

You talk about the research as if its a cut and dried thing. as if America has totally got it wrong and should immediately try this new path. it would be unreal to see the result.

Its very easy for people like you in Ivory towers to talk about flowery languaged research papers.

there is huge issues in society. criminals weren´t born that way, capitalism, society has alot to answer for. Americas for profit prisons, the racial issues etc. However human beings are evolved gorillas, many of us are ignorant, unfit for society, dumb, poor, wasteful, greedy and ultimately evil. SOme of it is learned, some of it is inherent. you talk of a Utopia that will never ever exist. If the USA took an Icelandic approach i would imagine the issues would be more or less the same if not worse. and the people murdered, and their families could be happy in the knowledge that society is happier, despite there being no real working proof .

he won´t walk, but Arnfinn Nesset did.

“A struggle ensued, during which Lynham stabbed Mr Black in the torso, creating a small wound and said: “I’ve stabbed you now, good enough.” The victim said he thought Lynham looked “crazy and out of it,” the court heard.”

”Paramedics were called for the victim, but he refused medical help. He treated himself with painkillers and saw his GP later. He has since made a full recovery”

Yes it must have been a horrific injury she caused there, lock her up for good..

According to the article the motive for the attack is unknown/ uncertain. There is likewise no suggestion that she was “too weak” to cause more damage. You are being dramatic.

Maybe she did. None of us here know. This is hardly a case of a hardened criminal who got away lightly.
