What I think is we need to make sure that basic needs are met as long as a someone is making an honest effort. To me, these needs are food, shelter, education, utilities and health care for them and their family. They also have to be able to get to and from their jobs.
When people can't do that, they turn to crime to make those ends meet. Then they become even more of a burden on society.

It sounds like your speaking in a somewhat different direction, or I misunderstood you. What about consequences? How do you feel about the homeless man standing on the corner with a sign stating "Why lie I need money for beer" or "My blood alcohol level is dangerously low can you help?" actually . . . anyone with a sign. I just saw one the other day that said "Will code HTML for food".
