[QUOTE="nomoretickets, post: 16487116, member: 160855"] Not sure if you really care about the answers or not, but... If you have a drunk husband who hits is wife, crime or not thats usually gonna end up in pretrial diversion (AA treatment) or plead out with treatment as a condition. So that kinda stuff is already how it plays out. But thats also probably not the first time the cops get called for something, and if there are more social workers embedded in the emergency response system, you might catch that and get the guy into treatment before he clocks his old lady. With Floyd, he had a history of drug abuse of drug related convictions. What that guy needed was treatment. If at any point he had gotten the drug treatment he needed, maybe he never escalates to fentanyl and doesnt try to spend a fake $20. Its well documented that criminal punishment does not deter drug use, and it does not prevent drug users from returning to drugs. Again, wrong tool for the job. Wendy's dude needed treatment too. Anyone who gets behind the wheel hammered has a problem. Dude was in the system. If the system actually focused on helping him rather than just doling out largely arbitrary punishment, that encounter doesnt happen. Its an experiment that has played out over and over and over around the country. When the justice system tries treatment focused sentencing, diversionary program, etc. recidivism goes down and crime goes down. [/QUOTE]
