It's not violent, but it's not victimless either. It's all well and good to say "it's just property" when it's not YOUR property.

I didn't say "it's just property." I haven't diminished the problems brought about by identity theft at all. I do separate violent crime and property crime when talking about incarceration, though, since the whole point of locking people up should be to keep people safe, not things.
There is no number of years you can put someone in prison, with no real effort to address whatever led to the crime in the first place, and expect them to just do better when they get out. So are we to lock them up forever?
