The Netherlands is having to close some prisons because they don't have enough criminals. Don't they know that unsavory people are everywhere and just looking for a chance to do something horrible?
The United States--"land of the free and home of the brave"--has a larger percentage of its population locked up than any other democratic country in the world.
The arrest statistics for the Netherlands are here. They appear to be a relatively low-crime country. Toleration has its benefits.
