>preventing crime is punishment
Chemical castration is not a punishment, brainlet. It is a clinical approach to crime much like the fictional ludivico technique from a clock work orange. Simple cause and effect.

NPCs take a punitive approach to criminality which has never worked in history. How is "punishing" someone going to correct anything?

The idea of punishment wastes approximately 300 billion dollars (THREE HUNDRED BILLION USD) in the United States a year between enforcement, courts, and jail. The solution in a punishment based justice is to send someone to jail where years are wasted to "punish" them. The only thing it is doing is confirming them in their crimes.

Execution is not a punishment either. It terminates the criminal that cannot be rehabilitated from existing.

Solutions to crime
>ECT to induce retrograde amnesia after it had been committed thus
>psychosurgery to correct for antisocial behavior
>chemical and physical castration of sex offenders
>execution of people who commit repeat crimes

None of those are punishments. They're obvious and concrete solutions. Crime would be reduced to zero and with 300 billion dollars a year spared we could have a society where crimes of necessity like theft wouldn't need to happen in the first place.
