[QUOTE]Originally posted by Orion Syndicate: [QB] [QUOTE]It is possible to rehabilitate offenders of minor crimes, especially Youths. That's where whatever "Youth Justice Act" is best applied here. To ensure that youths do not commit crimes again.[/QUOTE] Fine, that supports my argument [QUOTE]It is also possible to rehabilitate offenders of major crimes, including murder, provided that the defendant show a measure of remorse......[/QUOTE] I would partly agree with this because I believe that a vast majority of people could be rehabilitated given the right system of dealing with the criminals. Just because they don't show any remorse, does it necessarily mean that they will automatically go out and kill again? Take crimes of passion for example. The murderer may hate the victim with a vengeance and would do it all over again if given the chance, but wouldn't kill anyone else. Does the lack of remorse mean that they should never be released and even fried as you so eloquently put it earlier? [QUOTE]I have heard examples up here in Canada that Young offenders as young as ten commit violent crimes and thumb their noses at Police KNOWING they cannot be charged (in Canada, only young offenders from 12-18 years of age can be charged), and even if they do, all they get is house arrest.[/QUOTE] Fine, change the law and lock them up for a bit, give them some new skills whilst they're inside and then let them out into the community. After experiencing life inside and realising that they are not exempt from the law, the majority of them will come around. [QUOTE]In terms of very violent criminals where their crimes are committed with premeditation and deadly results, the chances of full rehabilitation are zero. Usually, these criminals do not show any form of remorse whatsoever. Try rehabilitating a convicted serial rapist and killer, who shows no remorse whatsoever.[/QUOTE] The key word in there is [i]serial[/i]. If they have been convicted lots of times and rehabilitation efforts have failed, then lock them up forever. However, just assuming that these people are beyond redemption without even trying to rehabilitate them is about as callous an act as the original crime of the criminal. I still don't believe in the death penalty for the reasons I made in my earlier post. It will create much more harm than good and I am still to be convinced about its benefits beyond satisfying the blood thirst of the victims families. [/QB][/QUOTE]
