I think a little bit of both rehabilitation and punishment is the way to go for criminals. Rehab could help them realize that what they were doing was wrong, and make them realize that there are ways they could be helped. You can't help someone get clean, or change their ways unless they want to be helped.
By punishing criminals, they realize, hopefully, that the punishment they get every time they get in trouble, is going to suck. I think the punishments should be a lot more harsh, and they need to be fallowed through. If we don't go through with what we say, they're not going to care if they get in trouble because they know they will lesser the consequences. I think we should have to deal with the maximum consequence we are sentenced to, for the crime we commit.
By using a little bit of both, we could better the mind of criminals that don't care about harming themselves or anybody else.
