Ignorance:
ignorance (plural ignorances)
1. The condition of being uninformed or uneducated. Lacking knowledge or information.
I know what rehabilitation is, and I know how it works, so don't call me ignorant when you yourself are ignorant of what it means. Do you plan to
rehabilitate kleptomaniacs? Serial killers (Which, by definition, requires the existance of
Antisocial personality disorder)? You can't rehabilitate someone with a mental illness. You can give them medicine, but it never goes way. Crime will never go away, as Pragmia said, but I hold the belief that just because crime is always present doesn't mean that crime should go unpunished. If you take someone's life, you must take theirs. You can't put someone who kills for fun into a clinic and let them out a year later thinking they'll change. That's like giving a schizophrenic therapy but no medication, and expecting him to stop hearing voices. Or giving someone with severe OCD some aversion therapy and thinking that they're all better. Rehabilitation cannot help an inherent problem in the mind of the criminal. If someone who's "sane" (I use "sane" because in most non-psychotic cases, sanity is relative to the society) commits a crime for their own monetary gain, telling them they're wrong isn't going to stop them from doing it again. They know its wrong, just as someone with OCD knows their compulsions are irrational, or someone with Asperger's Syndrome knows their social skills are impaired. But they're doing it on their own free will (contrasting with OCD and AS), and rehabilitation can't affect free will, and unless you're using the fucking Ludovico technique, they'll just say they're better and turn around and do it again.
And even proposing that the Holocaust
might not have happened is illegal in several countries.
