And the definition should be enought.
The laws of a country should stand above and provide sentences which are reached through objectivity and not be on the same level of reasoning as the criminal in court has.
By simply taking revenge through punishment a court doesnt fullfill this standerd.

Additionaly to that, a justice systems main focus should not be the sentencing of criminals but the protection of the population from criminals therefor crime prevention and assurance of protection for those not involved in crime.

by focusing on "punishment" one ignores that importent duty.

Quote:But again, I'm asking why murderers or rapists should be given a second chance?

rapists shouldnt. they should be locked up.

in the case of a murder it depend on the circumstances of the murder.


Quote:I believe in abortion in cases of rape and if there is a danger to a woman's life.

and what do people like you suggest to pregnant women who would fall into poverty by having a child?
