First, I think that the society must take the responsability of the criminal acts, because I believe that the people don’t do bad things because they are naturally bad. Capital punishment isn’t a good solution to reduce the criminality, because you can’t pretend that killing criminals the criminality end up. The capital punishment’s pros are that it cost fewest money that rehabilitation, but it can’t be a criterion to decide if we must or not to kill someone. The cons are that it don’t finish with the problem and the people who makes a crime can’t work again, come back with their families and neither recover their self in a personal way.
In Santiago, we can see radical differences of social class and economic differences too, then some people –which many times haven’t a work or studies or even see more posibilities in it – make a decisión to steal for example. Different is the case of rapists or murders, but we can be sure that most of the time they have psychological problems and we can’t kill them for that. The government should have better prisons, that in fact give oportunities to the people to rehabilítate. A prison in what they learn a trade and find a job when they leave the prison. It is a good way to prevent the recidivism.
I have been victim of a crime twice. One of them was a pick pocketing and the other was a mugging. In both my mobile was stolen.
