criminal laws

Personally, I disagree with Capital Punishment, although probably the criminality will decrease, but because of fear to be killed, not because of any change in people or anything else. That’s why I think it isn’t a good way to approach the problem of criminality. I think Capital Punishment is an easy way to draw society responsibilities apart from the problem, because there would be instant results, and the government could save a lot of money, and time to rehab and reinsert criminals into the society. I think that is more important to worry about why the criminality has increased, but attack the causes, like social inequality, lack of education, etc. I think that education is the main tool to decrease criminality, because it is the best way to create social mobility, the main cause, I think, for criminality. Especially in Chile, there is a big problem with education, and I think that is a very important thing to worry about.
I think that the government has to reinforce the support of children in Schools, for example, to improve their social nets , to avoid that they become criminals.
unfortunately, I've been visctim of two crimes, one pick pocketing and one mugging, when two men came to me and asked for an address, and then they told me that I had to give them all my money and celphone, mp3, whatever, because they had a knife (which I never saw, but I belived them). It was a very bad experince, because since then I can't trust in peolple when they are strangers.
