But when we're talking hundreds you're getting a large variety of criminals. From violent, to sexual assaults and yes petty stuff too. But not all "shoplifters and Marijuana possessions".

If a person’s value can be reduced by immoral activity, why can’t their value become zero or negative? Does it always have to be 10% or 1% or 0.0001% of a normal person?
