"Having the burden
of being reprimanded under a new law falls upon a select few, who supposedly
set the example for the rest and dissuade us from engaging in similarly
criminal activities.
"Regrettably, that's not how human behavior works.
'Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, an
estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within
3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% resentenced to prison for a
new crime'".
Despite common motivations,
criminal behavior takes different forms at different times. The guiltiest
criminal in one jurisdiction may be the most innocent in another. And
if the behavior is repeated, is it correctable institutionally?
Often, it's not even
a crime while it's being committed, and there may be more repeat offenses
than estimable. Or worse, you're the only victim, so no one else can understand
the crime.
