Where you live in your country or state, do you think the laws help prevent crimes, or what do you think should or shouldn't be considered a crime?

I should hope so but I feel like law enforcement are at times not terribly invested.

It should be considered a crime and actually is to let the cow dung and pee be disposed off in canals and earth. There are so many cows and pigs that they export the dung to Germany across the border because their home disposal limit is reached.

I don't know for sure if laws act as a deterrent, but I would guess they do, because people would fear being caught and going to prison. I do think that, either way, locking of people with criminal type minds helps protect society from said people. But that doesn't mean I necessarily believe laws and punishment should exist. I don't really know. I can't answer the second question because there are way too many possible activities to categories as should/shouldn't be a crime. I will say, because it seems pertinent nowadays, that I believe in freedom of speech.

Laws don't prevent crimes, they create them. I think murder should be a crime. Regardless of the circumstances.

no, laws function to lock up as many people as possible for cheap prison labor and/or private prison contracts - minimal if any attention is given to underlying crime causes
