It doesn't clog up our jails, and I think it definitely teaches people a lesson. I feel like this is a good solution for non-violent crimes. I'm also a fan of penalties that have the perpetrator do something productive. However, you can't exactly undo damage done to a vehicle, you have to pay money to get it repaired.ĭecember 2, - It's a good thing your friends learned their lesson as teenagers without getting a record. In the case of the papers, the perpetrator could possibly return the papers with no harm done. For instance, I don't think stealing a set of graded papers is as serious as doing thousands of dollars of damage to a very expensive car. I think the penalties for malicious mischief should definitely vary based on how much damage was done. But I do agree that the penalties should be different depending on how serious the act of malicious mischief is, and if anyone gets hurt. I think that's actually more serious than vandalizing a car.
Stealing a stack of graded papers harms a lot more than just one person.
