In the UK at least, there seem to be an increasing number of people (youths in particular), who have no moral compass and appear to lack the most basic humanity. These are damaged people, brought up in a damaged environment, and could almost be pitied if they didn't cause the havoc they do.
I believe that an efficient and humane way to reduce crime, and improve the lives of the population would be to prevent persistant violent criminals from reproducing. I don't consider this a form of eugenics, as I don't believe that genetics play a significant role in the way people turn out.
All this would mean is that certain thugs wouldn't be able to rear children in damaged environments, forcing them to become the next generation of violent criminals, and creating a criminal underclass, a problem which the USA seems to suffer from already.
I'm afraid that it's just tough if you've reformed as you've gotten older, if you were a violent criminal, your victims wouldn't get a second chance would they?
I expected people would try and compare this to Hitler, the Nazis etc. the Nazis also passed laws for the protection of animals and animal welfare (surprisingly), does this mean all RSPCA members are Nazis?
