This one will land with plenty of people for obvious reasons. People usually just want a sensible outcome here.
Bloody hell, 63% increase? That's huge. Wonder what's driving it.
stronger punishments for theft? so we're just gonna lock up more women instead of addressing why they steal. great system we got 🙄
nah, most theft is just people trying to feed their kids mate
As someone who works in the system, this doesn't surprise me. More mandatory sentences = more inmates.
but is locking them up gonna fix it? Feels like a bandaid
point, but we can't just let theft slide either
its late but i guess ill read this... 63% is insane
Wow, but theft punishments need to be tough. Shops are struggling enough with theft
It's not that simple. Punishment alone doesn't reduce crime
arresting our way out of poverty, classic
