[Roman Imperium]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

Retribution against those pitiful criminals, of course! Only an enlightened barbarian would think otherwise!


Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

Yes.


What has been your system in your nation's history?

Simple: Arrest criminals, and punish them severely by crucifixion, beheading, or being pitted in gladiatorial battles, all three are the most common punishments.

Breifly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Roman citizens, foreigners, and slaves are more respectful towards their authorities, for fear of being killed or worse.

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

Of course, we know that it is immoral to let these cowards roam free to kill and rape again!

Does your nation operate with Deterrence in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

Yes!

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrence]

Oh yes, especially gladiator fights, which are enough to make any foreigner's blood get pumping!

[Gwarmos]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

Crime is not really a 'bad' thing in Gwarmos. Criminals are separated from the chance to commit further crimes(our prisons are basically just holding facuilities), but it's really about it. Crime is widespread on Gwarmos, we do not hold the stigma that breaking 'the rules' as a bad thing, due to our cultural philosophies.

Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

No. We do not distinguish the difference from a repeat 'criminal' and a clean record citizen. The criminal just managed to get caught for his crimes, vice verse for the citizen.

What has been your system in your nation's history?

Lax punishments for most crimes, other things are not seen even as crimes. Should you be sentenced, you are separated from society via 'prisons'. But, we have an extensive military recruitment and parole system, where criminals are given greatly reduced sentences that are carried out via military enlistment like parole. Ex: a fellow convicted of double homicide is offered a 1o year military career, which in completing he will be a free man.

Briefly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Many of our best military leaders and political members have notable criminal records, as to quite a large portion of our populace.

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

More of a lack of moral basis really. You are not looked down on for criminal record on Gwarmos. So even view those 'clean' few with disdain.

Does your nation operate with Deterrence in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

No.

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrence]

No.

[Roman Imperium]

Having petty criminals fight each other in honorable combat? Typical cowardly barbarians, only freemen deserve the glory of dying in such a manner.

Not just criminals, POWs, slaves, Christians, debtors, and others are pitted in gladiator battles. Plus, they are not the clean and honorable duels common in Nicksyllvania. They are bloody, violent, and gory, in which many of these unfortunate barbarians died rather violent gory deaths, especially when pitted against wild animals.

[/quote]

Communists and Socialists usually are victimized without retribution (due to the CCU intentionally letting the criminal get away), because everyone hates them, and quite frankly, they're degenerates deserving whatever is done to them.

[KludgeMUSH]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

We believe that execution remains the only proven, 100% effective punishment for preventing recidivism and employ it as the punishment for nearly all major crimes. We also believe that being shot in the act greatly simplifies the process. Citizens are therefore encouraged to be heavily armed and deal with the problem on-site, so that the police do not need to get involved. More minor crimes are penalized with hard labor or restitution fines.

Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

There will always be failures. Their removal from the gene pool is expeditious, necessary, and vital to the long-term health of the nation.

What has been your system in your nation's history?

This system is ancient and traditional. It also fits in under 640K. We believe people cannot be expected to follow the laws if they cannot actually know what they are.

Breifly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Crime rates tend to fluctuate, probably due to the regular influx of immigrants and other newbies who have not figured out how things work. Things calm back down once natural selection runs its course.

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

The system is based purely on order and reason. If a morality can be derived from that, then yes.

Does your nation operate with Deterrance in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

It is our belief that criminal psychology does not respond well to psychological deterrence, but being shot in the head is rather inconvenient to anyone.

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrance]

Death in the arenas is common fate for those convicted of serious crimes. We believe this promotes the proper mindset of non-squeamishness and respect for the important continuing role of violence in problem-solving. Being shot dead in the act is even more common.

Does your nation have differing punishments based on classes [Economic: You can fine a rich man, but not a poor one. Social: Xenos vs. Citizens? "Natural Order"?]

Not really. The punishment for major crimes is death, and all are equal when dead. The rich are more likely to avoid serious punishment for minor crimes, but these are relatively few and the motive for committing them is somewhat questionable at best.

[Satirius]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

Rehabilitation-by-labor. We don't want to waste workers.

Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

Those that bring a net loss even in rehab are called Anticitizens.

What has been your system in your nation's history?

Criminals are forced to learn the value of honest labor by working for less-than-minimum wage, the salaries which are withheld until time of release to give the ex-con a helping hand. Any further crime committed is merely term extension sans pay as it is deducted for reparations.

Anticitizens are dropped in a special reservation down south with a breechloading .22LR carbine(now being downgraded to a 4.25mm Liliput falling-block)as soldiers use them as target practice.

Breifly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Mostly theft. Felonies such as murder and arson is usually carried out with an anti-governmental bias.

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

If "your rights end where someone else's begins" counts.

Does your nation operate with Deterrance in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

If the resultant social stigma counts. You're not moving past unskilled labor after a prison term in your lifetime.

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrance]

Some petty crimes result in use of a stockade.

Does your nation have differing punishments based on classes [Economic: You can fine a rich man, but not a poor one. Social: Xenos vs. Citizens? "Natural Order"?]

Not really, as reparation is usually made out of resources garnered during conviction. Foreign criminals are extradited immediately, and racism just requires another set of laws that muck up the judicial system.

[Third Spanish States]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

Neither. Eugenics and getting rid of scum just for the sake of convenience to the people rather than for the sake of retribution is the only solution.

Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

All criminal scum are failed cases because most of the economical motivation(abject misery and social injustice) to commit wrongdoings doesn't exist, and thus the only motivation for them to inflict injurty is their nature, printed in their genetic code, as scum. They must be kept out of it, under seven feet of dirt, in more severe cases, or ostracized in less severe ones, because they are the bottom of the gene pool and aren't welcome.

What has been your system in your nation's history?

No system, only the will of the majority of good and honest people, who have the guns to exert such will against tyranny and scum.

Breifly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Lots of International "cyber-crimes" against fat bourgeois capitalists because nobody is against such actions, and a disgusting amount of pedophilia that will be purged from the gene pool as soon as possible. And unwanted immigration is the third most common injury, because nobody in the Confederacy welcomes dumb people.

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

The will of the people and the development of superior human beings. It is purely utilitarian.

Does your nation operate with Deterrance in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

No. Those who have genetic tendencies to commit crimes cannot be deterred, only wiped out from our gene pool.

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management?

As they are done by the people themselves rather than by a specific bureaucracy, yes, all of them are public. No, just because it is more efficient than wasting money with bureaucratic means of justice.

Does your nation have differing punishments based on classes?

No way! Everyone will be treated equally for their actions. No matter how popular, cool, famous or Internet-worshipped they are. If anything, people who serve as references to the population due to their fame or contributions in the past for the cause of freedom tend to be judged more heavily for their present actions than an average joe.

[Klein Vrystaat]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

Laws in the Free-State have always been somewhat harsh, owing to the early days when we could not afford to give everybody a hug and lessons in individual "sensitivity" when they rape somebody.

Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

In every society there will be failures. These must be removed expeditiously and efficiently.

What has been your system in your nation's history?

Punishment mixed with rehabilitation.

Breifly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Few trivial crimes, major crimes still happen fairly regularly, but those responsible are usually hunted down swiftly.

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

It is based at least in part on moral responsibility.

Does your nation operate with Deterrence in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

Yes. Seeing somebody who raped a girl hanged in public deters would-be rapists.

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrance]

More severe crimes such as homicide, rape, and the like are punished in a public setting.

Does your nation have differing punishments based on classes [Economic: You can fine a rich man, but not a poor one. Social: Xenos vs. Citizens? "Natural Order"?]

Mandatory punishments are generally nonexistent, which means a given judge may apply the punishment he deems most suitable to a case.

[Kreanoltha]

Mkay:
What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

Retribution/punishment are generally found to be more effective than rehabilitation in the long run.

Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

Anyone that repeats crimes such as rape more than once are considered lost causes and are summarily executed after their trial. However, it would be hare for a rapist to commit his crime more than once as they are emasculated after their second offense. Murderers are always executed. No exceptions. This includes operates of abortion clinics.

What has been your system in your nation's history?

They're pretty much the same as they've always been. The only change is that they're now broadcasted over the intergalactic networks since Comcorp was able to put up slipspace really stations in the Pegasus Dwarf galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy.

Briefly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

Lately executions and beatings have become more brutal to combat the rising crime rates in the outer worlds, especially those in the largely territorial space in the Andromeda galaxy. It only has a few states(using the American definition of the term).

Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

Of course. We hold the sanctity of life, well sacred. Those found violating it are summarily executed. Those who commit other crimes are subject to extreme discrimination after they're released from prison or their hard labor camp, whichever. After a few years or so, depending on the severity of their crime, which is published in the papers when they're convicted and when their are released, people will tend to relax around them.

Does your nation operate with Deterrence in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

Yes. We have used the system effectively for years.

Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrence]

Yes, they are broadcast on all of the major news networks across Kreanolthan space.

Does your nation have differing punishments based on classes [Economic: You can fine a rich man, but not a poor one. Social: Xenos vs. Citizens? "Natural Order"?]

No, the law is applied equally to all.

[Victorious Decepticons]

What does your nation generally believe as far as a solution to crime? a "get tough" Retribution system or an education-focused Rehabilitation system?

It's definitely a Retribution system, and more literally so than most. Dissent angers Megatron so much that he considers it treason, and his response is to take revenge by having the dissident terminated. If one's treason angers Megatron greatly enough, he will even deliver the punishment with his own hands.


Does your nation believe there are "failed cases" in society, and/or ones that must be kept out of it?

Yes, but only traitors are considered so bad that the Government itself will remove them from existence. Other types of failures, like those who are general failures at Decepticon life, are "taken care of" by roving gangs who cash them in as scrap.


What has been your system in your nation's history?

In short: Might makes right. Great Leader Megatron has the most might. If you don't think he's right and want the privilege of saying so, you'd better have a bigger and stronger army than he has. If you don't have such an army, enjoy your cup of STFU or your swim in the molten slag - your choice.

So far, no dissident has survived Megatron or Domestic Intelligence finding out about their dissidence - backup army or not.


Briefly describe the trends in your nation that are observed due to your system.

You will only find anyone willing to so much as whisper a word against Megatron, his orders, or the Decepticon Way on the very rarest of circumstances.


Does your nation's crime system have a moral basis?

No - unless you think it's immoral to piss off the Leader. It's certainly suicidal, but Megatron hasn't gone so far as to frame his law as a matter of morality.


Does your nation operate with Deterrance in nature? As in "One person is punished, and the others realize they wouldn't want to commit the same crime?"

Yes!


Are punishments public? Public to aid in the emotional aspects of crime prevention and management? [Deterrance]

Yes. We always broadcast official punishments, whether the traitors are shot down in the streets or melted at the foundry.


Does your nation have differing punishments based on classes [Economic: You can fine a rich man, but not a poor one. Social: Xenos vs. Citizens? "Natural Order"?]

No! Even a High General can and will be melted down for dissidence, insubordination, or basic insolence. Starscream's public meltdown served as absolute proof that nobody is allowed to get away with challenging Megatron's leadership. Also, for the record, in reality Starscream was immediately condemned to slow meltdown after opening his yap just ONCE against our Great Leader.

Rehabilitation unless it's a very large crime, like murder or using religion to steal people's money, in other words if L Ron Hubbard was to go the albia he would be arrested on sight

No, unless the crook pays for it for reasons of their own. It's happened, we never have figured out why.

No.


What has been your system in your nation's history?
For lesser crimes: One on one, televised gladiatorial combat against a close physical match. Winner goes free with no further punishments.
For major crimes: Sent to inhumane prison camps. Prisoners will either be selected for breeding material, chosen for human sacrifices by the priest caste, or harvested for meat and organs.
