Punishment is cheaper then rehab. so we punish , often sending people back into society worse then when they entered jail.
88 percent of all crimes are due to an alcohol /drug addiction , or mental health problem.
I don't think punishment will help those folks. The idea is to try & stop the person committing more crime.
Try asking yourself that question if you are a victim of crime
Not sure on the question on Goodnesses but if you mean does it help the answer is no.
There are 4 main theories for criminal punishment:
1. Deterrent Theory - to deter crimes from being committed
2. Retributive Theory - for society and victims to get retribution (basically to punish them)
3. Reformative Theory - to reform criminals and turn them into law-abiding productive members of society
4. Preventive Theory - to prevent them from harming anyone else by locking them up behind bars
