we punish chronic repeat offenders.A possible argument against my solution would be that this system would cause an overcrowding of the prisons, in which there already exists. Although this argument in a way may prove to be true, my solution primarily focuses on repeat offenders. The major car thieves who get caught stealing repeatedly will be the ones to be sentenced to prison, keeping the number of car thieves imprisoned very low. This solution will leave the juveniles and one-time offenders with more points against them, giving them more of an incentive not to commit the same crime.The price of cars has grown; so too should the price of stealing them. Elevating the crime from a C to a B felony, and from a seriousness level I to a II, plus double counting priors for adult offenders would put the proper value on today's auto theft crime. Instead of seven convictions before prison, it would be three for adult offenders. Instead of five convictions before a JRA commitment, it would be three for juveniles. This is the best and most applicable solution....
