How is that supposed to stop people from commiting crimes in the future?

Though it is un-logical, killing a person who commits a crime would certainly stop a lot of people. People would want to keep themselves alive and death would be a terrifying aspect if caught.

Yes but its just unreasonable, the cost of killing every person who commited a crime,
plus the fact of trying to aprove it. There are way to many
holes in the theory of killing someone who commited a cirme.

About the stabbings, i feel if your stoped and searched and your found to have a knife, gun then that should be like 6 months in jail, full stop. People will carry knifes along as other people do, the cousin of one of the teenagers stabbed in London sayed "if NAME was carrying a knife, he couldve defended himself, but because he didnt he died."
Its a sicken circle.

Six months in jail for carrying a gun or knife, that will never happen.
Crime will never end, people will always kill other people. And even
if the kid had a knife that doesn't mean he wouldn't have died.

I like the military idea, if someone commits a youth crime thats severe or it is a multiple offense then sending them into a military organization would be a alternative punishment but it depends on the crime.

The government won't put their most of their efforts into deciding what they do to people after they commit crimes. They will try to head them off before they even happen/.

If you were carrying a knife, and you knew it carryed a 6 month jail sentence, wouldnt you think twice about taking it out again? I would.

If you suggest putting childern into military camp will work, than you're wrong. It's simply a mere punishment; similar as getting yelled at by your parents. You will end up doing it again. There's nothing that American soceity can do, but punish them accordingly (Juvy). If we do put them in juvy, they will end up having more haterd towards police/goverment and comit more crimes. WE SHOULD LET PARENTS MONITOR THEIR CHILDREN.
