The Catch and Release Strategy Does Not Work in Criminal Justice

What happens when you continually release offenders - in this case juvenile offenders - with little in the way of consequences? The Deadly Menace of Feral Youth

What happens is that you get more consequences, worse crimes, until someone dies.

On Sunday, police in Baltimore County, Maryland, wore black mourning bands on their badges to mark the five-year anniversary of the death of one of their own. Officer Amy Caprio was responding to a 911 call of a burglary in progress west of U.S. Highway 1 near Perry Hall when she confronted the driver of a stolen Jeep, who ran over her — a death captured on the officer’s bodycam video. Her death highlighted the problems in a juvenile justice system that endangers public safety by failing to incarcerate repeat offenders.

This one "kid" had 17 incidents, either arrests, missed court dates, or reported AWOL from his electronic monitoring. This was all in course of about 6 months.

He had his wrist slapped, but faced no real consequences until he killed a cop. Instead of being given a chance to learn from his mistakes, Dawnta Hall killed someone and then was sentenced to life in prison. His three accomplices were convicted of felony murder and also went to prison.

So in the end, what did all that Social Justice accomplish, aside from killing a cop?
