Crime and Violence Resistance and Obstacles

The unwillingness to affirm every global citizen.

Ignoring Critical Support Systems:

Crime and violence are strongly linked to the failure to implement pure global cooperation, therefore, related cooperation objectives must be explored.

Without complete availability of academic and trade education for every global citizen, humanity fails to provide critical tools to those in need of inspiration, accomplishment, contribution and hope.

Without complete availability of psyche support for every global citizen, humanity will continue to nurture, by default, harmful causes and effects that societies strive to eradicate.

Against Positive Community Psyche:

Revenging and opportunistic individuals and groups sometimes perceive murder as their morally correct response to self-perceived injustices. While legally approved justice systems routinely inflict death sentences, the represented population observes that it is justified to kill another human being under some circumstances other than self-defense.

This dilemma equates to the government or justice system policy “do as we say,  not as we do.”  Citizens observing justice systems that inflict death under any circumstance internalizes these acts as justifying the death of another human being under some circumstances. Therefore, individual or group killing of another may be justified in the minds of some entities under some circumstances as an extension of this same logic. As long as leadership and justice entities willfully inflict death upon any human being for any reason, then citizens will always contemplate the willful killing of another as a viable choice.

Where there is an abundant lack of self-control, there is community decline. Communities must take full responsibility for each stage in the psychological nurturing of every community member and to organize and be willing to go all the way daily to discourage and deter inappropriate behavior. Concurrently, they must also be trained to protect, educate, redirect, monitor and inspire each citizen to optimize motives and rewards for good and cooperation.

Friction against these goals occur when insufficient responsible adults are available to monitor the streets, casual recreation areas and known trouble areas. This limitation is usually due to the need to work to satisfy financial needs. Money needs actually remove essential community observers when and where they are needed most. This reinforces the need to retire financial compensation and debt systems in exchange for cooperation.

Medically-Induced Unconsciousness Concerns:

The decision to replace death sentences with temporary medically induced unconscious states will be met with controversy. Examples include morality of intentionally placing an otherwise healthy human being into altered states, the medical equipment and personnel required, whether proper justice is being carried out by extending the life of would-be executed inmates and whether such treatment is in the best interest of the inmate and society.

Furthermore if the goal is long-term rehabilitation over short-term behavior management, then it must be determined whether successful rehabilitation could occur during unconscious states.  Additionally, moral implications must be addressed involving whether unconscious states prevent the opportunity for true personal introspection for voluntary growth.

Assuming that an inmate wants to live, then this policy provides an alternative to execution and a possibility to benefit from future wisdom and psychological expertise. This policy can serve as a law aiding to protect human life or at least become an option for judicial bodies. It could serve to support the emotional needs of grieving family members desiring close long-term physical proximity for family mourning, prayer and healing, acts which may be impossible after traditional inmate execution and disposition of remains.

It should be noted that sometimes current inmate mental states prevent the possibility of direct physical or verbal interaction. This policy would provide the children a chance to visit, see and touch their parent perhaps years after sentencing and years after an execution would normally have been scheduled.

It should be noted that currently some children never grow to see a parent because of executions. This denial can inflict extreme emotional trauma to children. Furthermore, allowing a coma-revived inmate the opportunity to visit their children or parents could be the stimulus to generating a strong will to live, to participate in family life and perhaps possible rehabilitation.

Current society may be incapable of fathoming the possibility of future inmate rehabilitation, but future humanity and psychiatric ability should be given a chance. Assuming that death sentencing is the worst case scenario, then perhaps this model demonstrates human compassion along with the possibility of future inmate redemption.

This policy presumes that safe medical technology and knowledge exist to implement and manage temporary medically induced unconscious states. All parties concerned must be fully aware of the possibility of inmate decline or death under these conditions. The author has no significant medical training. Unknown medical risks or complications may exists with these procedures and are not documented here.

Perceptions Against Positive Inmate Care:

Some will say that treating inmates with great respect will undermine the need to punish them. Although inmates will have vast entitlements available to them as do other global citizens, they will not have the freedom to participate in the rapidly expanding opportunities outside of prison boundaries. Under the new global model where opportunities and growth flourish, this physical restriction will be significant punishment, a powerful motivator to participate in open society and discourage return to prison-restricted environments.

Systemic Financial Incentives and Abuse:

Some incarceration systems worldwide use inmates for covert or overt profit work programs. Accordingly, these programs, and any financial motive or restriction, support resistance to change and further justifies implementing the global money eradication proposal.
