RE: The Dilemma of Crime and Punishment.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It's all a huge inter-woven complex.
You could say that the prisoners pay indirectly back for what crime they have been convicted. And so they are worth more alive than dead.
Haaaaah! I didn't think of it from this perspective.
Makes sense and opens up debate demanding deeper insights.
Do you actually have the death penalty in your country?
It's tricky. They lift it whenever they want and impose it whenever they want.
In 2008 executions were halted. In 2014 they lifted the ban.
Nevertheless, there aren't many cases where the criminals were executed.
Well, in a corrupt system like ours the corporal punishment is highly susceptible to be misused. From top to bottom all the sectors are corrupt. Justice system is among the toppers.
Every system is corrupted, I think. Meaning, that people can be corrupted, either through what is called major sins (pride, envy, wrath, greed, lust etc.) or through their life being threatened or they being blackmailed.
Have you ever been tested yourself? Were you, let's say, in a position where you were offered a privilege but in order to be given it, you needed to do something in exchange which went contrary to your principles? And where you said "no"?
To be in a responsible position makes you constantly the target of many people and interests. The more responsibility you carry, the more people will try to influence or manipulate you.
The governed as well as the governors need to be in full knowledge of the principles of not sinning and need to be tested.
Someone must be of high integrity to withstand and he must be a very mature combined with skill in his expertise. Without being tested you never know how strong you are.
True. Misuse is a widespread phenomena.
To have the full picture, one would need to know about the amount of the correct use of the law.
Naturally, if you belong to a group or clique, you'll be less inclined to have one member of it to be convicted of a crime, in particular, if this person provides the others with both financial and reputational benefits. That does not excuse it but it does explain it.
Government has actually no power over its many peoples. Since there are not enough resources to have each and every single one under control. So what a determined government does, if it wants the people to obey, is to make people themselves the force; ergo people controlling people on an individual basis. To divide them amongst each other. Fear is a powerful 'weapon'. If the people fall into fear, they are easy to be managed.
Other deadly sins the bible calls out, are inertia and gloom, things which make people ignorant towards what's going on.
Each and every trait can be found below and above. To master life under the human conditions is not easy but difficult. To expect it to be easy, is a whole other chapter.
Lolz. Seems like it's the confession time. I was once in a position of responsibility and I committed an act that made me realize how strong one needs to be to say "NO". Though it didn't have larger implications but I felt myself in a position of doing injustice.
I agree. I was 18 years old when the case about myself I mentioned above happened. It let me put myself behind the bars. Not only I realized the pressure that comes with responsibility but also the importance of precision between right and wrong (at least one's own right and wrong). Maturity is needed to withstand our position. However, with the passage of time I also realized thst maturity has different levels and the life keeps on putting us different test with various levels of difficulties demanding different skils. We might be mature in one way but be amateur at the same time.
Well, while I accept corruption is a human phenomenon, the frequency with which it exists in my country is quite higher as compared to other societies.
Here, you have to go through an illegal path to get s legal work done. For instance, for filing a case against a crime, you are supposed to bribe.
From the door of the court to the judge you are supposed to fill the hands of several public workers.
Government servants keep on getting salaries whether or not they appear at the workplace.
The convicted criminals of Billions of Dollar corruption are easily released.
There is much much more to the story.
I do agree. Difficult but not impossible
HaHa!! Thanks for letting me know then. :D
In Germany, when you lose your purse and you have your ID in it and your drivers license, you are actually supposed to file an official crime. So that when your documents appear somewhere else they are registered as stolen.
I had mine once stolen and told the police lady that I just want to tell but would not file a case against the thief. She looked at me as if I was insane and for a moment I felt like a criminal myself - LoL. That was quite a strange situation since I was not anticipating such a strong reaction. For me, it was just money and my own fault, since I had forgotten my bag on the back of my bike.
It's odd that officials want to be bribed for letting you into the legal system. Here, denunciation seems actually to be encouraged and for that, you have to report a violation to the officials.
I never came across someone who opened his hands to receive money. Though I am confident that similar things happen here like "one hand washes the other" in terms of business contracts and favors exchanged.
🙈🤗
The same is the supposition here. !LOLZ but here one needs to go through another headache for filing the crime. They ask for some money before filing it.
I am amused by the incident 🤣
So you may imagine the level of corruption here. I feel embarrassed. Perhaps, greed has topped everthing else in the hearts of people.
Lemme tell you a case. Lately, the bike of our relative was snatched. There was s tracker in it. He instantly reached the police station and asked them to catch the robbers. He stayed 2 hours there tracking his bike, trying to convince the officers to make a move, but they refused saying that the bike was out of reach.
Well, it's a norm here. No news.
Here in my country people often use a sentence as a general pray. "May God protect everyone from police and hospitals."
These are not the criminals who pray to avoid the police but the victims who are more fearful.
Every sector is equally corrupted, not just police or hospitals. 🙁
