People still get in trouble, but punishments don't need to be very severe to still work. While it might seem counterintuitive, harsh sentences seem to increase recidivism and hurts society at large. This is also true for harsh conditions in prisons.
That depends on the crime and the circumstances… For gang violence social integration, education, good opportunities and guaranteed coverage of basic needs sound promising for me. You can compare different districts and ask yourself, why in some there is gang violence and in some there isnt.
That seems counterintuitive. What do you do? Ask people pretty please not to commit crimes?
