a team of people trained to physically stop them, bring them somewhere where they can be rehabilitated,

That would be great. Maybe we should try that instead of the police and prisons as they stand now.

But then you're calling for reforms rather than abolishing the current system which is what the post says

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

how do you differentiate between a reform and an abolishment?

[–] ADTJ@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago

Reform

to make an improvement, especially by changing a person's behaviour or the structure of something

Abolish

to end an activity or custom officially
