It's a sad fact that archation often works- at least temporarily.
It's never right to violate the life, liberty, or property of another, but I can't deny it "works" if you don't worry about doing things you have no right to do. If you want to be the bad guy.
Things, both good and bad, get funded through taxation. Funded inefficently and in the wrong way, ignoring market factors, but "funded".
If you want to look like you are doing something against criminals, you can find "gun crimes" to cage them over when finding actual wrongdoing would be harder. Then you can cage them to keep them contained for a while.
And, speaking of imprisonment, at least while that one person is caged, he won't be violating anyone outside of his punishment facility. In the long run, it probably makes things worse, but statists don't worry about the long term.
Governments can threaten other governments into doing what they want by holding the population of the entire world hostage. Sometimes, the outcome might be good. Sometimes it isn't. But using innocent people as pawns does often work.
You still have no right to use archation to get your way. Governments have no rights at all. That's the whole point of archation as a concept: doing things you have no right to do. Does it work? Sure. Sometimes. It's still evil and it puts you on the wrong path.
