most ppl here are simply wrong and my patience wears thin. prevention is better than cure. as they enter adolescence, lack of empathy is clearly discernible. watch them closely for a few years so that several people can be absolutely certain about the diagnosis.

psychopaths are obvious and must disappear at 10-12 years. quick dispatch is necessary because of danger to smaller children.

general narcs/antisocial/creepy should disappear at 14-16 years. before they get too big/strong. their parents getting older and less likely to make a replacement child.

pre-crime is a dangerous concept. Specifically because a lot of “symptoms“ of antisocial personality disorders are explained away with other causes, especially at a young age with changing hormones. Caning offenders seems to work great, because it hurts so bad you can even do a shorter jail sentence and have very low recidivism with average people. At least in Singapore.

It's already bad enough that you have government officials settling personal scores using the legal system as a hammer. Imagine what happens when you get rid of the requirement that there be some kind of convincing evidence that a crime has occurred. They'll just go nuts and chase down whoever they want.

This is also BTW why "eugenics" (government sterilizing those with weak genes) is a dead end. Any system that is not robust against corruption is NGMI.
Because I just assumed that nobody would be dumb enough to consider combining pre-crime with vigilante justice at the same time.

That basically amounts to "I punch anyone I don't like the look of", jail was literally invented to contain people who do that.
