It's part of why we have a crime problem. A friend of mine retired from being a judge earlier this year. His main reason? He couldn't take third generation offenders, guys who were grandkids of men he sentenced decades ago.
I don't know if this fixes that, but something needs to be done to fill the role model aspect. Bigger sentences hasn't worked.
I am with you on something needs to be done. But how about reforms on how we sentence.. Instead of treating them like a bunch of morons.
