Although, some laws are brutal, they are necessary to keep order in the community and crime at a low. An example to represent a fair law in the code of Hammurabi is, “If he has broken the limb of a patrician, his limb shall be broken.” To put the quote in simpler terms, it states, “If you break a man’s limb he’ll break yours.” This is a fairly honorable law. If a person breaks someone’s arm they should expect a consequence and this is not exceptionally crude. A law such as this one is created to keep balance, peace, and reduce violence. Even though this may seem strict to some; the victim who endured the limb breaking would have to disagree.
Further, because most hate-crime legislation puts added effort into prosecuting crimes against certain individuals or groups, what about the same crimes committed against someone who doesn't fit into one of those groups? Will the crime be prosecuted to the same extent? If not, you're making things worse for the majority, who are likely to feel underprotected. If the problem is that too many people (of any group) are being mugged, or assaulted, or their belongings vandalized, you should put more effort into prosecuting muggings, assaults, or vandalism. Not to protect any one group, but to protect all
To think after all the years to past, things would have gotten better! How can someone be fueled with so much hatred, that it will make them cause harm or even kill an innocent human being? They are often referred to as bias crimes. Majority of the time, hate crimes are committed,
Trespassing is bad for many reasons. First off it is against the law. Anything that is against the law is bad and shouldn’t be done. You should really consider not doing something if you know or even think that it might be illegal. If you are caught participating in illegal activities, like trespassing you, will be arrested and you will have to face the consequences of your actions.
You’re not going to only have to deal with shame if you commit a crime because it doesn’t work like that anymore. There are going to be fines, restrictions, and jail time depending on the severity of the crime. There is another way in which shame can be a great thing and that is from preventing crimes. If you’re somebody who cares about their reputation and how they are looked at then you might think twice before committing a crime because you know that you’ll
Restorative justice advocates an offender take responsibility for criminal actions, and encourages mediation among the offender, and victim, which allows the offender to attempt to correct the wrongdoing. While many society members promote this alternative form of justice, there are many critics that claim this form of criminal justice is not fair, it does not allow the victims to
Sometimes people feel the defendant has too many rights and has more benefits, which could help them get away with criminal activity. All these points are valid, but they are forgetting about the rights of people and what they stand for. I would think people would want defendants to be punished fairly and not have an opening, where they could possible get their case dropped because of something illegal done on the prosecution or law enforcement
However there is growing conflict about the practice. Since public space “ …is landscaped, bounded, and controlled space,” its uses are normalized. [1] Graffiti constitutes damage. Which is defined as, “ permanent or temporary impairment of value or usefulness.”[2] Furthermore, the criminal aspect that is coupled with the normalization of public space causes a moral panic. This is said to be a “reaction to a pattern of behavior that is seen as violating accepted norms or laws is disproportional to the threat posed then the behavior in question.”[3] The reaction is disproportionate because the aesthetic and cultural aspects of graffiti are set aside for the criminal code.
An accomplice should be given a sentence but the mastermind who lead the crime should be punished more and should in turn suffer more for the crime they committed. It is important that the guilty person is aware of them being worse off that before in order for the punishment to be effective. This is called experimental harm. Everybody has different triggers and how they do things. And thus the crime due to provocation is not always justified.
Describing crime and deviance is varied across different cultures; history; social situations and place. It will look at the bodies that measure crime and look at the reasons why they are not accurate. There are several differences between crime and deviance, deviance is a violation of the social norms whereas crime is a violation of the laws of the land. Society has no power for deviance but the government can punish with crime. Much behaviour that was seen as deviant in the past has today become a criminal offence, as with crime behaviour seen as criminal is now seen as deviant.
