Re: Should Jail terms of six months or less should be scrapped?
The problem nowadays is that you can commit dozens of crimes, be found guilty and still avoid jail.
Assuming for the sake of argument, that jailing somebody doesn't prevent reoffending, then not jailing definitely won't prevent reoffending.
If somebody nowadays got 19 years, or even just 19 months for stealing a loaf of bread, then the incidence of shoplifting would plummet.
