How much do we care about him reoffending because if he's already been caught 10 times he's obviously doing it regularly, you don't get caught each time. Yall really think 100 hours of community service is fair to his society?

The reliability and promptness of the punishment matters far more than the severity.

@Jack1 capital punishment should be an option. I'm not looking for it, but somebody else might be.

A therapeutic justice approach that addresses the underlying causes of the person's offending

10 previous arrests? Obviously existing punishments have not been a deterrence.
