Good Evening.... Infidel
Why? The speeding motorist may kill somebody. I see an awful lot of people speeding past a nursery/prep school that I pass on my way to work, but you're saying that's ok, slap them on the wrist and let them do it again.
People learn from their mistakes. Smarter people learn from other people's mistakes too. Where a kid is brought up in a dire nether council estate with benefit cheat alcoholic junkie parents, I would think there's a good chance they're going to end up stealing or smashing or whatever. It's because of societal factors, and not some flaw in their genetic makeup. But you say lock them away for the most productive part of their life because of the situation they were brought up in.
Start the same kid in a middle-class family and do you think the same thing will happen?
All you're doing is increasing the social stratification by preventing people from learning and improving themselves.
