Huang: Most people who commit violent crimes do not carefully consider whether or how they will be punished for these crimes. And those who don' t commit violent crimes have no inclination to do so. Rather than impose harsh mandatory sentences, we should attend to the root causes of violence to reduce the rate of violent crime. Suarez: Would you say the same about nonviolent crimes, such as tax evasion? Surely mandatory penalties are a useful deterrent in these cases. At any rate, I am confident that mandatory sentences prevent most people who would otherwise physically harm others from doing so. The dialogue between Huang and Suarez most strongly supports the claim that they disagree about whether ['mandatory sentences will deter most people who might otherwise commit violent crimes', 'the best way to reduce violent crime is to address the root causes of violence', 'people who commit violent crimes carefully consider how they will be punished for their crimes', 'severe penalties reduce the incidence of tax evasion']
