[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 4160031, member: 55109"] I've always maintained that it is [B][I]not[/I][/B] the [I]severity[/I] of punishment that serves as a deterrent. It is the [I]certainty[/I] of punishment! - and that's true even if the 'certain' punishment is less than the 'potential' severe punishment. [Even stupid criminal minds have a serious self-preservation instinct. They would definitely pay less attention to a 5% chance of a 30-year prison term, and more attention to a 95% chance of a 15-year term. Wouldn't you?] [/QUOTE]
