Street Crime
Isn't legalising all drugs the quickest way to reduce the crime-rate, get rid of street gangs, and empty jails?
Tax it heavily, and make them available at legal dispensaries.
Only keep the most dangerous, harmful drugs illegal, such as meth and heroine.
I'm not advocating this idea necessarily, this is more of a thought-experiment. At the moment I'm only really for legalising marijuana. I think I might get some interesting responses though.
Yes!!!!!! Legalising marijuana and magic mushrooms was a HUGE success in the Netherlands.
Crime rates lowered, and overall drug usage went down (I have no idea why).
Im going there in a few months to see family, and whilst Im there Im going to get so stoned everyday.
They also have public controlled-injecting rooms over there, where you can legally inject yourself with whatever drug under medical supervision, and given clean needles.
It grealty prevented the number of people ending up in emergency rooms and straining the healthcare system because they injected it wrong.

| | Understanding Crime Data $93.77 This book is designed to introduce students to the complicated and politically fraught world of crime data. This is no bland review of statistical trends or methodological flaws. Rather, this book aims to examine the social processes which shape and give meaning to our knowledge and perceptions of crime. The bamboozling world of political spin and tabloid sensationalism confronts and bewilders us as we navigate our way through a world increasingly populated by terrifying risks and appalling acts of violence and carnage. Whilst it remains the case the crime data is notoriously unreliable this book will attempt to explore what such data tells us about the nature and character of the crime problem and how it is responded to by politicians, criminal justice agencies, the media and the man on the street. Fundamental to this text will be an introduction to the different sources of crime and criminal justice data and the ways in which they are generated and used by vested interests such as government and the police. The old adage of `Lies, damn lies and statistics` will be reconsidered and the pervading criminological wisdom that crime statistics can tell us nothing useful about actual rates of crime will be challenged in an attempt to reclaim the social scientific value of crime data for thinking about and understanding both trends in the crime rate and the underlying social processes that shape the way such trends are interpreted by society. |

| | Choosing White-collar Crime (Hardcover) $241.22 This systematic application of rational-choice theory to white-collar crime problems distinguishes ordinary and upperworld white-collar crime and presents reasons theoretically for believing that both have increased substantially over time. Reasons for the increase include the growing supply of white-collar lure and non-credible oversight. The book argues that measures and approaches used in the war on street crime have greater promise for reducing white-collar crime. Concluding with reasons for believing that problems of white-collar crime will continue unchecked in the increasingly global economy, it calls for strengthened citizen movements to rein in the increases. |

reasons why street crime is more harmful than white collar crime ?
i have a debate in front of the class about why street crime is more harmful if any one can give me some ideas it would help a lot thanks
It's not. It seems like it is because of false consciousness- we're told by people in power to be scared of things in order to be more easily controlled by them. In reality, white collar crime affects us all much more in our daily lives. If you want to do well in your debate, research with topic words "false consciousness" to know what your opponent will likely use to make their points.
