If the question is whether our approach works better than the US one, well the evidence suggests that on the whole it does. There are always exceptions, of course.

I am sure there are facts about the relative effectiveness of sentences somewhere that could help rather than made up numbers

As I recall, the argument wasn't any more substantial than a suggestion that poor families don't love their children. Whether you find that persuasive is another question.

It's been a while since I had a look at it, but as I recall the argument was closer to being that there were fewer 16-21 year-old males, and that they tended to be the most violent section of society. There's a not dissimilar argument that links the decline in criminality to the banning of leaded petrol. |

The banning of leaded petrol at least had a correlation to go on.
The abortion argument just had a start point and a whole bunch of moralising guff.

Did you give them a song? I have heard you are very good. Not in the reception, but yes, with the choir in the service |
