  • Anyone who says 'science doesn't care about your feelings' likely has a very limited understand of science
  • There should be no prison but no penal system altogether
  • Vote, don't vote, do whatever the hell you want but don't shove it into people's face
  • Aiming to be politically 100% pure and judging those who can't be as pure boils down to chasing political activism cookies/elo. The only useful thing is doing one's best.

How would you deal with violent crimes (murder, rape, abuse, things that are considered morally reprehensible by most people, regardless of religion and affiliation) without a penal system? Mob punishment?

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I would suggest this article as an introduction to penal abolition.

But, to sum some common abolitionist answers, I would say :

  • Replace the penal system with an appropriately modified version of civil law (Hulsmann)
  • Transformative justice (focus on the needs of the victim, apply peer pressure and other non segregative means of social control on the perpetrator, while taking in account the needs of said perpetrator) (Ruth Morris, Mariam Kana)
  • Community mediation with a fallback segregative solution (Christie)
  • Tackling the needs of the population to reduce violent crime (all of them)
  • The list goes on and on! I can point you to other resources if you're interested.
