How do we stop crime in NY?

[Celt]

How about exponentially increasing sentences.

Your sentence for a crime is multiplied by the number of times you have been previously convicted of felonies.

This would have to be coupled with an end to prosecutorial discretion. You charge the exact crime they committed or nothing at all. You don't get to pretend that car theft was shoplifting because you're afraid you're throwing off some racial quota.

On top of this, fix the education system so kids have more skills when entering the adult world, teach more real world skills, and have motivational teachers that inspire all kids. Reinstill the values of a nuclear family, stop incentivizing single moms having 11 kids with 11 different fathers by capping welfare benefits, make prison a place to be feared, require hard labor, limited to zero internet, tv, or "comforts" of life for all serious violent and predatory crimes. I could go on and on.

What if schools had, call it shop class and home economics, where children could start to learn real skills.
Not sure if this could be done, perhaps we could get a grant to study this for 10 years, to see if it could fly.

Taking away the Democrat supplied "Get Out of Jail Free Card" would probably be a good start.

I'm just saying.

This kind of stuff isn't exactly rocket science.

It starts at home ... Two socially responsible parents. Children need a role model to emulate . Dole out punishment (not excessive ) when needed.

My kids school in PA has both. I was rather surprised the NY schools they had attended did not.

How to stop crime in NY , first thing would be to remove the 2 top commies in the governors office and the AG .

When I went to school in ny it started in middle school.
Auto shop, wood shop, metal shop, electricity, for the guys home econ for the girls.
Big machines that cut off fingers, etc.

This is not how to stop crime in NY.

6th felony conviction, 2.5-5 yrs in state prison. Something tells me he will be working on felony #7 as soon as he gets out.

Countries with the most severe punishments for crimes include:

• North Korea: Known for its strict laws and severe punishments, including public executions3.
• Saudi Arabia: Imposes severe punishments for crimes, including stoning and public executions4.
• Iran: Executes individuals for crimes, often in public, with methods like hanging and stoning5.
• Somalia: Imposes severe punishments, including stoning for adultery4.
• United Arab Emirates (UAE): Has strict laws regarding public behavior and drug use, with penalties ranging from fines to lengthy prison sentences3.

These countries are noted for their harsh criminal justice systems and the severity of punishments they impose.

If stoning people to death because they had a drink or had premarital sex is your thing then I have good news for you. Places that do this already exist. You listed some options, take your pick and head on over!

Somewhere between that and ROR for attempted murder is the happy medium.

Remember being able to weld in the 8th grade? Good times

 

[Depick]

Well common sense dictates you empower the police to enforce the laws, the prosecutors to seek appropriate punishments and judges to ensure justice is carried out fairly.

But NYS government has been built to crush common sense at every level.

So we’d need a new state government.

Do you have any idea how many Mp5 and HK53s I'd have if I knew how to weld?

OP: It's simple. Criminals go back to the bottom of the importance list, instead of ahead of their victims. Criminals spend time in jail, instead of me spending more time in booking writing reports and redundant paperwork than they do incarcerated.

The Romans never had any large prisons , yet they they kept the peace in an empire without them




You get hit with this and I will garrentee you not commit another crime for at least six weeks , the time it takes to recover . Oh your a second offender ? you get twice as many if your stupid enough to commit another crime . Want to go for a third tough guy? We'll start removing body parts, The historically proven method of corporal punishment,

Fear works , A lot of criminals dont fear prison , that needs to be fixed

 

[fresch]

They also had renewable modes of transportation,
"Ramming Speed!"
That helped keep down crime; plus losing a hand, head etc.

 

[Grimscale]

So we’d need a new state government.

Your terms are acceptable.

Another one for the list: 3 perps, stolen vehicles, 4 LEO agencies involved, high-speed chase, helicopter and K9 support. Bad guys apprehended, charged....and released on appearance tickets.

I could solve most of the crime in the bigger cities.

People would not like my methods though.

These crimson would be permanently stopped from crime committing....

But remember, teenage brains aren't fully developed yet. The district believes this so ardently that school times were changed so the poor, poor dears could get some extra sleep in the morning. I am not making that up. Apparently the "science" says so.

In newyorkastain you only need a 55 to pass; getting "smarter" every day.

And we wonder why people are fleeing NY. I cant imagine what the cops involved in tbis chase feel like with the end result.

 

[Bigfoot]

Unlike when I was a teenager during the 1970s. In 2025, if I were a teenager and someone referred to me as a teen(s). It would piss me off. That word has a different connotation these days, and it's not a positive one.

50 + posts with ideas to lower crime, but truthfully it has to start much earlier than that, with good Parenting. A good old fashioned pants down spanking when needed, and I mean right then and there, right in the cereal aisle of the grocery store if that's when it's needed would solve a lot. The concepts of shame, punishment, right, wrong, justice, reward, all those things ( morals ) that were once ingrained into polite society need to be re-established. Sadly, it will never happen.

I don't know the exact point at which it happens, but morality goes away once a population reaches a certain size. Humans reached that point a long time ago, and it shows.

Humans (as a species) are at their best when they live in groups of about 300 or less. This can explain why small towns produce better behaved people with fewer social ills than cities where society has collapsed.
