It's a criminology text which ponders why petty thieves get heavy punishments and larcenists largely go free.<br /><br />If we scale the $99 theft = 45 years (1 year per $2) to the $300 million stolen by two Tyco execs about ten years ago, this would imply prison sentences of about 75 million years each...<br /><br />http://eclecticlip.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/on-theft-and-punishment/<br />(disclosure: my own blog)<br /><br />MEclectic Liphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282022533189262514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-88214928472302278062012-08-10T14:41:52.112-05:002012-08-10T14:41:52.112-05:00There certainly are, now, criminals (entrepreneurs...There certainly are, now, criminals (entrepreneurs) hard at work figuring out ways around the surveillance state; in the end it will be the dumb and the relatively innocent who are snared.<br /><br />Gegner,if I didn't feel frustrated with our general stupidity, what would I have to write about?
