@sbkenn1 Yes, because of a deeply-rooted culture of criminality. In large and identifiable portions of the society crime is glorified, entrenched, respected. Face it.
It's been there since not long after the Puritans and it's been stepping up in waves ever since. (Cf. Samuel Johnson: "Sir, they are a race of convicts." He meant Americans.) Lighter enforcement of laws, if it is ever to be even thinkable (and it likely will never be) awaits success in efforts to root out this culture entirely.
I think that's obvious, and few in these communities are even close to realizing it. The music, the movies, the schools, the street corner culture, it's all soaked in it. The churches included: look no further than the preacher in this video, who said nothing against stealing.
But you're determined to believe lighter punishments will help. Terrible.
