How should thieves be punished?
<|assistant|>
Thieves should be punished in a way that is appropriate to the severity of their crime and the harm done. Potential punishments should include fines, community service, and incarceration. Restorative justice can be a beneficial tool that helps victims feel like their voices are heard and provides offenders with meaningful opportunities to learn from their actions. It can also facilitate repairing damages to people and relationships, providing victims with an opportunity to understand the impact of the crime and giving the offender the chance to take responsibility. Ultimately, thieves should face consequences that will deter future crime.
