A lot of those so-called "white coller' crime--which is supposedly "non=violant" draw these funky places like Dannbury , CT.
So what gives
Look at it this way, someone steals money or embezzels it by Accounting "slight-o-hand" or faking papers or such or having someone do it for them and draws this prison farm + "community service".
So why is it
non-violent ?
Someone looses pension money and can't pay med bilss, some child loses their education which is about the worse crime an educator can do when money is diverted elswhere, a town doesn't get the number of deputy sherriffs it is taxed for so people are at higher risk, a fire department's response time is longer because of money's being diverted to "other project"s graft,--so why is that NON-violent ?
And WHY is it that when they get convicted they get to sit around with other so-called 'white-collers' playing cards --instead of having to watch their back-[no pun] 24/7 ?
When you harm people physically or psychologically in any way, to me that is violent.
And why is a 'white-coller' plea bargain, like 3 years instead of seven and often a lot of "community service" ?
In today's NYPost tabloid there is a story about a Dean at a NYC HS who asked to be transferred because it is too dangerous in his HS and the Principal rewards "looking the other way".
Now how much do you want to bet he will get some "payback" for going public at his new school , once it blows over?
If he does get "payback", isn't that "violence" in so far as it puts people like him and the Teachers in the HS AND the students in physical danger?
And
that woudn't even be considered a crime !
I've heard of people sent to Hospital after Hospital for years while the Criminal draws six months.
The thing about so=called viloent crimes is that they are often "Retail".
But "white-coller crime" is often wholesale. My opinion is that this should multiply the sentence--not diminish it.
Recently I heard of a school security guard who got her back injured when kicked from behind while breaking up a fight. He was denied Workman's Comp by the Principal and the School Safety (!) Supervisor because he "couldn't name the Perp".
So why is this not even considered a crime to cover-up a crime to improve the School report of crime? What is the
next School Safety Officer going to do when a fight breaks out ?
Who is hurt by that ?
Fraudulant acts that place people in jeopardy like that should be made crimes and be punished as violent crimes.
Save the Prison farms for the very ill or very elderly patients. Send those who hurt people wholesale to do 'hard time', even if they did it with a Pen on a Form.
