In this modern age, I'm rather interested in the inverse: lawmakers doing proper scientific research, and legislating based on that; attempting to discover the sociological or economical truths rather than chasing slogans and acting on beliefs and agendas.

They do that in many countries. Basically they check the likelihood of being a repeat offender and try to minimize that. Tax crimes become harsher than violent crimes because of it, for example… it is not popular amongst the population though.

I've only heard rumors that Scandy countries do this, do you have any references?
