Yeah, how did you know? Maybe because it's accurate?

This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Do you think democrats tend to be softer on crime and on criminal prosecutions than republicans, and if so, WHY"

Maybe?
But as a retired enforcer of the laws of this nation I can readily tell you the answer isn’t private, for profit, prisons and a tiered justice system that resolves over 90% of its criminal cases by strong armed negotiators.

O.W. Wilson, the last word back I the day on this stuff, was already falling out of favor by the time I began studying criminal justice back in the early ‘80’s.
He got one thing right though. People who are conduct them selves anti-socially to make there way in the world constitute around 3% or less than us.
That breaks down to around 1% of us who resist getting “fixed” either because they are just plan wired wrong 0r born “the bad seed”, depending on your world view. The don’t care that their us a better way. The arohnd 2% of us who can be diverted if caught early enough, their problem is they simply don’t know, or can’t readily comprehend, a better way.
Publicly paid for compassionate segregation facilities should exist first forthe purpose of attempted rehabilitation and re-socialization and to keep these who would harm others separate from those they would do damage to.
By compassionate I don’t mean easy. I mean fair and mindful that we are talking human being here. Golden Rule Ethical Thinking applies.
Best efforts should be made to determine the 2% that can be helped, differentiate them from the pathological cases, reach them and give them that better way they aren’t getting. Either because of addiction, lack of education, social skills, etc., or combination thereof. There should be rehabilitation efforts for the non-violent of them in non-prison facilities. It’s cheaper, more effective, and produces better end results.
None of this is about politics. It’s about what works from what doesn’t. It’s about effective vs. less effective.
It’s metrics, not political.
