3% of the population commits 57% of all crime. So you could incapacitate those individuals prior to them committing murder. IE: put them in prison for 20 years for theft, then they can't commit murder. Let them out when their testosterone drops below criminal thresholds (in their late 30s)

That’s what I was thinking. If I get picked up for jaywalking, then I’m in the clink for a few weeks and can’t commit other crimes, etc etc

> commits 57% of all crime

how is the portion of crimes committed measured? number of charges?
