I just want to know if these sentences are grammaticaly correct. You don't have to tell me how to fix them if you don't want, but if you see that one has a grammatical error, it would be appreciated if the sentence or error could be pointed out to me. Thanks.
1. Whether it be a first hand experience with addiction, property values decreasing due to a plague of addictions that has left the neighborhood crime-ridden, or paying extra in taxes to build new jails for all the drug addicts being arrested daily, the drug problem affects everyone.
2. Currently, the debate on the best way to deal with the drug problem in America has come down to one side arguing for stiffer drug laws and penalties, and the other side arguing for rehabilitation programs for drug-offenders
3. The supporters of the stance that argue for stiffer laws and penalties believe that the greater the punishment is for a crime, then the greater the deterrent is for that crime.
4. In other words, a person would be much less likely to break a law that has a stiff penalty as opposed to breaking that same law with a light penalty.
5. They state that stiffer laws and penalties will deter people from illegal drug-activity, rehab will be less of a deterrent than stiffer laws and penalties, and that while these drug offenders are locked away, they have very little means of abusing or manipulating a system designed to give people a chance to recover.
