As a Brazilian this why we have the largest number of homicides and one of highest rate of homicides ->

What boils down is the Narco and crime sponsor policies that looks good on paper but on reality is made to free more prisoners.

The govt likes it because "feels good" and reduce prisoner spending and looks good on UN stats.

Lets by example say that I had a discussion with someone here and I killed him.

If I am on the 10% solved murdered case I will be brought to justice.

Then criminal justice will come:

1. Was I caught in "flagrante" (up to 24h after crime)? No? Wait for judgment outside or wait for preventive prison;

2. Do I have a job or a clean record? If yes wait for trial at home;

3. Did I intent to kill? Yes go to trial, Then you may pay some damages (very low fees) and community service.

Then comes trial. I am consider Guilty IF ONLY, IF ONLY when ALL resources and recurses of law were finished.

It is normal to crimes prescribes after 20 year abusing courts but it is the law.

So I lost all recurses and now I am in Jail. The maximum sentence is 30 years (Even if I kill 10 people).

I have the right to intimate visit (I can have sex with my girlfriend/friend/wife).

If I am studying I can leave to study.

If I work each worked day another one is removed from my sentence.

If I read a book too.

Then If I have good "behavior" my sentence is reduced to 1/6.

DO the math -> max 30 /6 -> 5 years - bonus points (book, studying) I am free in 2-3 years.

Now check the link I posted above -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention... (click count, rate) Brazil is very humane with criminals but not with its victims.

My lower middle class condo has electrified fences, armed guards, CCTV, patrols, bullet proof glasses it is like a prison. The higher classes have more features.

People with good meaning soul and big heart cannot comprehend that some people for whatever reasons feel pleasure in being evil and don't care about others life. Then they project their good meaning in laws and thus give more power to evil people do more evil until they die.

Welcome to "modern laws" for just evolved homo sapiens.
