Does unconditionally forgiving other people's sins encourage them to sin again? [Spirituality & Religion]

I believe we should forgive other people's sins. God is the One who is to judge people, not us. However, I'm worried about this mentality just making people sin more. If noone's going to judge them (but God, to Whom they're disobedient to, anyways), why not do it again?

That is a deep question. I think in some cases it can humble a person enough not to do it again. But a person character is also hard to change. And when you talk about some things like drug use you may have biology against you too. So my opinion is 50/50.
