When you criminalize multiple generations you end up with generations of criminals. Perhaps we should take a close look at root causes. When you take any means of gainful employment away from people, what do you expect to happen?
I know lots of young people who have lost jobs and they didn't turn to crime. You shouldn't make excuses .When you criminalize multiple generations you end up with generations of criminals.

Notthe same thing, moreluck.I know lots of young people who have lost jobs and they didn't turn to crime. You shouldn't make excuses .
You said.....what do you expect when a job is lost?Notthe same thing, moreluck.
When a minority youth commits a petty crime with no violence, and no harm to any other individual, he is more likely to go to jail thatn his white counterpart. Once he has a record, he can no longer get a job, no matter how qualified, no longer qualify for educational grants, no matter how qualified, no longer get any public assistance for living, no matter his condition, and in some cases be disenfranchised from voting.
Is this how why welcome people into society?
Never mind what has been done to the African-American family unit since about the beginning of America. Never mind that, just focus on today's reality.
You said.....what do you expect when a job is lost?
Apparently you expect people to turn to crime when that happens.....that's not what I expect and that's the difference!!!

rr,
Todays reality. Really !!! In the court system of today --you have to do a lot to go to jail --Black or White.
People like the DC shooter have rap sheets miles long --no jail.
The vast majority of any one in prison today is a career criminal with a rap sheet that reads like a horror book !! Reality !!
Again, you miss the problem and offer a ludicrous solution. This country has such a violent population, we have literally run out of space in our prisons.
From white collar crime, to gang members, our prisons are over crowded. A good percentage of those prisoners used a GUN in their crimes, yet you want to complain that they dont go to prison.
Maybe, if they didnt commit a crime in the first place with a gun, the sentences would be shorter thus making room for the new criminals with guns?
You can cry all you want about criminals, but you assist them by making that much easier to obtain guns in the first place.
The USA is filled with armed lunatics just waiting to commit a crime. Its just a matter of time before they go off and do it. You want to see less crime?
Get guns off the streets.
Peace
