Motive does matter if you're trying to reduce the number of crimes and victims.Funny thing is that all the people who support the "war on terror" are generally the same sort of people who oppose addressing the root causes of crime. If the motive is the unequivocal extermination of you, your family and your society, then something more severe is probably needed. I can't think of any crimes committed recently where the motive is "unequivocal extermination" without some external driving factor. Palestinians attack Israelis because they're kept impoverished. Al Qaeda's leadership certainly hates anyone who doesn't belong to their silly cult but the bulk of their membership is motivated by food, money, and prestige in a poor society where every advantage counts— and even the leadership is partially motivated by America's constant meddling in other people's countries. Even the Nazis themselves would not have had enough power to do anything too evil if a large number of Germans weren't motivated by economic insecurity to cling to any promise no matter how empty and any scapegoat no matter how tenuous. |
