How does allowing criminals to go uncontested inside each and every bank they rob deter them from continuing such behavior?

Let's acknowledge that, for the most part, like 99.9% of the time, we're talking about a crime where the bank can easily recoup its losses. And, most bank robberies involve a note threatening to use a weapon. You don't actually see the weapon. The possibility of endangering the lives of customers is something banks want to avoid.

I do understand that there are extreme circumstances, but you have to be careful to not allow the exceptions to swallow the rule.

EDIT: I already stated my opinion on this topic but enjoy the conversation with hard questions. I'm sure you know to take none of this personally.

Oh, I don't mind at all. Discourse is how we solve problems. It's great to hear opposing views. They make me challenge my ideas and either refute them or make them stronger.
