Exactly, because the punsihment isn't harsh enough. For a lot of these guys a few years in prison is the price they are willing to pay if they get caught. No different than being willing to pay $10 to go see a movie.

It's all just marketing. Everything has a value. If you produce a product you want to determine the value and price it at the maximum amount people would be willing to pay or a bit lower. Never higher or the product won't sell. Now reverse that and apply it to crime. What's the value of robbing a bank? If it's two years in a cushy prison then set the penalty at 10 years of hard labor. The value of robbing the bank is not worth the potentail price to pay.

Of course there are real sickos out there. Someone who thinks their dog is the reincarnation of Jesus and is telling them to kill people really don't give much thought to what will happen to them if they're caught. But these types are few and far between and, once caught, will soon learn that electricity is not their friend.
