The solution is simple - look to Singapore. I don't know very much about Singapore (I'd like to know more) but I remember the youg punk who seriously candalized a bunch of cars and he got beaten 6 stripes with a rattan cane. A standard punishment there.
I have heard that Singapore has ultra restrictive laws and I'm not advocating anything else... But study and motherwit tell me that

*****PUBLIC BEATINGS (PAIN AND HUMILIATION) AND MANDATORY RESTITUTION*****
are the only solution. Jails are WAY over used, criminals just get worse and they cost you and me a ton of money.

I am absolutely serious and the so-called justice system is so FUBAR that I have no hope for it.

And for those who commit capital crimes -
****PUBLIC EXECUTION****
I think two years of that (and forget the 15-20 years of appeals) and I bet Scotland's crime rate would go way, way down.

(PS if people don't believe in hell - which belief keeps a lot people on the straight and narrow - give them a taste of it now!)
