Yeah we could learn a lot from Norway's justice system, there's a reason they have such a low crime rate, so few prisoners, and such a low reoffending rate compared to most countries

There's a pretty low crime rate & pretty low reoffending rate in Saudi Arabia in comparison to most countries - perhaps we could (conversely) learn a lot from Saudi Arabia?

Yeah but then they rule through fear of religious consequences, do they not? That wouldn't work in the UK because we're not a very religious country anymore, and anything threatening violence would doubtless breach EU laws?

Not necessarily. Many are placed in jails - with nothing to do with religious consequences.

Without 'violence' - life in Arab jails is tough. Most who experience it rarely want a 2nd trip.

I know it's an extreme 'reply' - and no, I don't agree with all of such ways of dealing with crime: I'm only making the case for 'Norway' being so good and the stats proving that: the stats also prove the same for a far stricter prisoning system.

If you want to live in a country where women are banned from driving, people are still being beheaded for sorcery, public displays of affection are a crime etc. then you could argue that yes, although I'd rather we went the other way and used rehabilitation as a means to reduce crime with it being beneficial to everyone

I have, and I still hold that same view.

Can you say the same?

I've also lived in an Arab Country that does allow women to drive, that does allow women to work, who have much western influences in the the way the country operates (including alcohol being allowed) and their prisons have as just as harsh conditions.
