You might forget that providing justice for victims is one of the central purposes of the entire criminal justice system.
**********
The criminal justice system at best provides damage control for the present, deterrence for the future, and a meager measure of consolation and support for victims or their survivors.
This is not for lack of will to do more, it is for lack of ability. Justice is in the hands of God. Man simply cannot right the imbalance of criminal misdeeds.
Very well said
A lot more can be done for victims. Coddling of criminals leads to more victims. Nobody wants to be raped, molested, mugged, assaulted, maimed or murdered. Criminalws who commit these specific crimes should get the harshest of punishment, especially repeat offenders.
