Criminal Law
What do you think are the problems with our criminal law system?
If you could change something, big or small about the criminal law, what would it be and why?
Please tell me what country you’re in too; I’m in the UK but I’m interested in other legal systems too.
I’m in the US. The one thing I’d like to change is that as long as ANY law is on the books, that is in force- that law should be enforced. Laws that aren’t going to be enforced, should be repealed. I believe that unenforced laws undermine ALL laws. I’m not advocating locking up everybody. But, it’s wrong that an act that is ignored or permitted 10,000 times, should be prosecuted on the 10,001st time. The purpose of laws is supposed to be for public safety and protecting people from wrongful acts. So, if a law exists, it should be for the good of the public-and needs to be enforced. If the law fulfills no reasonable public need, then it should be repealed.
