When people keep committing the same crime it's an indication that they feel a) that the chances of being caught are negligible and b) that if they do get caught the punishment won't be that bad anyway.

agree there , i think a lot of the problem is that the crims see ppl getting off with ludicrously lenient punishment and think if they got off lightly then so will i , bring back public flogging down the high street , now i wonder if the humiliation would deter them
