Huh.

I categorically oppose "zero tolerance". It removes judgement, ignores context. It's a strategy for bureaucrats to absolve themselves of responsibilty.

But I actually don't know if it's better, worse, or indifferent. If it proves a net win, I might change my stance.

Please share if you find any such research. Thanks.

I would be astounded if a strategy that "removes judgement, ignores context" can be effective in a world of people who may be dealt injustices and have complicated circumstances. Seems completely antithetical to improving trust and social cohesion, which are important for a healthy society.
