Doing time for the crime, sentences not enough

They always seem to get off
I am a serving police officer and am so angry about the way the system treats victims of crime. So much police time and effort is put into bringing this scum to justice, just to watch them walk away laughing.

The courts in this country are an absolute joke and it appears to me that whatever crime the low life commit the punishment never fits. Theres' always an excuse as to why these people commit crime, but what about the victim?

| 28-2-2008 | I agree with Andy that things will get worse in this country regarding insufficient punishment - the reasons for this are narrow-minded Liberals & Human Rights.

| 18-1-2008 | Karl the first incident you speak of would be investigated & would probably result in no prosecution due to the fact you were driving safely & the child ran out in front of you.
The second incident is much more clearer-it would be murder or maybe manslaughter on the grounds of diminished ...more | Andy Evans |
| 09-1-2008 | Sentence should fit the crime. So, what should the sentence be for the following?
I am driving down the road when a child runs from within parked cars, I hit them and they are killed yet I was not speeding.

| 09-9-2007 | Policing is no different to any other business in this country, it's about money and results. How do you make money easily and at the same time, show you are clamping down on crime - Speeding. This is where the crime does not fit the time, in actual fact, only just recently, they increased the a...more | Speedy |
| 11-8-2007 | WOW... I'm in America & the same things are happening here. For me, I seen it start in the late 60's when my first driving ticket made me go to court.

| 01-6-2007 | What is happening to British Law and order? As reported today a rail passenger has been given a criminal record for stretching out his legs and putting his feet on a seat. Elderly pensioners, unable to meet the extortionate cost of council tax have been imprisoned. Yet violent yobs, drunkards and sh...more | Mike B |
| 30-5-2007 | I say keep them in a bare cell long enough for them to go insane or commit suicide, or change our "soft" country into a place where people die from their mistakes instead of learn from them. | Retribution |
