Less crime, less punishment, better production values
Reason.tv manages to make me look sane and smart. Didn’t know that could be done.
Zach Weissmueller of Reason.tv demonstrates that there is a level of production skill adequate to overcome my basic incompetence as an interviewee. The result is the best short version ever of When Brute Force Fails. All that’s left out is the details of the successful innovations such as HOPE and High Point.
Author: Mark Kleiman
Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

Mark:
This video is as brilliant as your book. Can't wait to show it to my Law & Econ class, when we get to the section on Crime & Punishment.
Best,
Dan
Mark:
You should be careful consorting with them there libertarians or you'll be on a slippery slope to becoming a libertarian like Matthew Yglesias. 🙂
Great stuff! I think you're, perhaps, the top voice that needs to get out there making the case for any number of sane, humane policies. I call on Pres. Obama to get Mark Kleiman out there onto TV!
And when you get out there — with luck, in time to actually help us — I'd only recommend that you slow down a little bit and give us listeners time to catch up. Your brain seems to work much faster than mine, for sure.
Example:
I'd have liked for a long pause between "We have much too much crime." and "We have an intolerable number of people behind bars.
This is as important as war, you're the general officer with the plan to win, and you have to sell it to dolts like me.
Meaning no commentary on the pulchritude of the participants in these sorts of discussions (and not even having watched this one yet; maybe it has important visual aids), I find that this sort of conversation makes great radio, especially when I can download it and carry it in my pocket, but putting it on video and tethering it to my computer makes little sense. Bloggingheads, when it's good, is an excellent audio podcast, but I've never understood why anyone would actually watch it. Is it just because the participants are driven by the illusion of being on TV, are hoping to gain skills and practice for going on real TV shows, or trying to demonstrate to producers that they already have such skills?
You don't need a "crime czar" but Mark looks the part for a Crime Patriarch.
Please explain the thing with feathers that appears to be hanging from the top of your right ear. Is that HOPE?
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
