While that's not untrue, these kind of systems just lead to their particular type of witch hunts, where the people in power game the system in a way that they make their opponents disappear. Combine your system with a bit of selective enforcement and imagine that lawmakers create a law that's trivial to cross, and you get a police state very quickly.
I'd be all for a safer society, but there are at least three big problems with change that you have to deal with. One is that often, these proposals are not accounting for humans. Like the one above. Second is that you have to get there somehow. Make a transition from a current state to the next. If the reform is too sudden, society will reject it. Third is that you have to convince the rest of the people, if you're not a dictator. And I doubt that a dictator could have a safe and stable society to begin with.
I suggest that you read up on utopias that people have tried to build. Even the Wiki article is quite interesting.
Yes. I am for spending on social services like food banks etc, to make sure people dont fall into a need to commit crimes for basics. But for any crime, if your still pulling that shit after the age of 30, no lock up, just straight death.
Check out how many are wrongly convicted in the US (or anywhere, really). Now imagine what a bit of corruption in the law enforcement could do - for a price or a bit of power, you could get a strike on someone, anyone.
