Paid not to commit crime

• isadore

  gosh a ruddies, how to stop crime, pay people not to do it.
  "The D.C. Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a bill that includes a proposal to pay residents a stipend not to commit crimes. It's based on a program in Richmond, California, that advocates say has contributed to deep reductions in crime there.
  Under the bill, city officials would identify up to 200 people a year who are considered at risk of either committing or becoming victims of violent crime. Those people would be directed to participate in behavioral therapy and other programs. If they fulfill those obligations and stay out of trouble, they would be paid.
  The bill doesn't specify the value of the stipends, but participants in the California program receive up to $9,000 per year."

  I tend to be liberal, but hold this to be a horrible idea.

  As a law biding citizen I would want a oppertunity to cash in also...
  
  How about paying law biding citizen to shoot criminals:
  first time criminal committing a crime $200.00 wounded kill $500.00
  Second time felon committing a crime $750.00 wounded Kill $1000.00
  Third time felon committing a crime ...... $2000.00 dead or alive (the pickin should get smaller)

  Closed due to Izzy being too stupid to notice a duplicate thread, even though his title was very, very, very similar to the original.
