One of the missing considerations is that crime is done mostly by young people, and the rate of crimes goes down the older you get.
A lot of this IMO is that the impulsiveness/risk-taking behavior of crimes decreases a lot with age, but the empirical fact of crime going down with age, especially reoffending is a big reason why locking people up for life is less good than Ben Pace said, because the reoffending rate goes down with age.
