The Case for Mandatory Minimum Sentencing: Restoring Order by Prosecuting Petty Crime
The phrase "lock it or lose it" has become a frustratingly familiar saying in communities littered by petty crime. From shoplifting to car break-ins, these so-called minor offenses are eroding public safety and emboldening criminals. When thieves face little to no consequence, the message is clear: crime pays! The failure to prosecute petty crimes is a dangerous thing that undermines trust in our justice system.
It’s time to reverse this trend with mandatory minimum sentencing for thieves, ensuring accountability and deterring future offenses. Locking up repeat offenders, even for small crimes, isn’t about harshness—it’s about restoring order and protecting communities from unchecked lawlessness.
