A well-known criminology statistic is that about 20% of all criminals account for 80% of all criminal activity. Where does law enforcement concentrate on? Not on that 20% of criminals.
The real criminals are ones the police will never touch. As someone already stated down below, those criminals are far too powerful.
Notice the people they arrest for child porn or any sex crime. Or you know what....expand that... lets say ANY crime. It's almost never rich men. It's hardly ever politicians. It's never CEOs. Sure they may bust one here or there every once in a blue moon when the misdeed becomes obvious. But the disproportion is massive between the socioeconomic classes as to who gets arrested in this country. 60% of the prison population is african-american despite them being only 13% of the country's population. 70% of prisoners are in poverty at the time of arrest!
Anyway Im drifting off topic and can go on and on about this. There are entire college course about this. But I think I made the point that the system really isnt accomplishing anything. I understand people want these pedophiles off the streets. That's all good and some may be abusing kids. But please understand that they are only a sliver of the problem. These people the police catch are not the big-time guys. These guys are at the bottom of the totem pole.
This map shows you the percentage of people in prison per 1,000 citiziens. It's easy to see we are leading the world as far the size of our prison population.
