Carrot vs. Stick: An Analogy for Criminal Legal Systems

[@thriverprivate3383]

I worked with children in the foster system and i realized that individualized care also means understanding for some people change is facilitated by a shorter stick or a longer one or a different carrot or a taste of a carrot because how can someone aim for something “Good” they have not tasted it before and perhaps it is highly foreign or even something with which they have a negative association?

[@Luredreier]

We don't really use sticks here in Norway. Neither for prisoners nor for children. Indeed you can lose custody if you slap the bum of a child or punish them. There's other techniques that's promoted by our government.

Is America starting to learn from its mistakes? It's about time!

[@gavinmc5285]

with the privatization of incarceration the stick is profitable. case closed. guilty wins* *corporate ownership of prison corp only. please check balance sheet for company definition of win.

[@thejumper7282]

Prisons should be federal. The whole idea of privatising such an important part of what a government is, is a complete capitalist perversion

[@noahpartic7586]

Agreed.

Of course it does. ❤

Make criminals afraid again.

[@christinamann3640]

As they said, it doesn’t seem to work that way.

[@MrEkzotic]

Each situation is different; the carrot works for some while the stick works for others. Some people cannot be rehabilitated.

[@pat77pat]

So the stick for everyone, then? I think that, as usual, you missed the whole point! 👍

[@MrEkzotic]

@@pat77pat Um, no, that's clearly not what I said.

[@pat77pat]

@@MrEkzotic The post is not about rehabilitation for everyone, genius. Again, you used a useless argument. Get it straight, Dunning.

[@Luredreier]

The stick never really help is our experience. Even if someone come out of a prison system and don't reoffend after a prison sentence using a stick they're still not the kind of people you want in your society. Only carrots does that. As for the idea that some can't be rehabilitated, of course not, if you give up on them... Yet we're still going to try with a mass murderer in my country that killed 78 people. If we succeed he *will* be released.

[@Luredreier]

​@@pat77patIt might not be. But that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be. We *do* use rehabilitation for everyone in my country, and it works 80% of the time.

[@hotrod2804]

Don’t be a criminal.

[@melvindebritto5086]

This is a terrible analogy

[@christinamann3640]

It’s dangling a carrot (positive incentive) verses beat with a stick (negative incentive). I get it.

[@chadevans4922]

The easiest way to avoid prison is to not commit crimes. Then, no rehab, no punishment.

[@sisuguillam5109]

Your point? Oh, there isn't one.

[@Piromysl359]

Way to go to promote system that we can see failing in real life.

Criminals deserve harsh and brutal punishment.

You do realize many people in prison are in for victimless crimes - like drug use and dealing - right?

[@76678-m]

@PEACE AND LOVE assuming that you’re 90 percent claim is true, that’s MORE of a reason to legalize it, as we could put age restrictions on it like we do with alcohol and tobacco. Also, I have yet to hear an explanation of how dealing illegal drugs is any more harmful than selling alcohol or tobacco, both of which are completely legal.
