Last year, I did my work experience at a Magistrate Court and it was really interesting to see what kind of crimes were taking place and how they were dealt with. They allowed to us to take notes but they could not be too detailed as the information was confidential. I got to thinking about the justice system and how things are dealt with and it turns out, not very well.
I was watching a programme before on police here in England, they had gone to search their house and found loads of weapons but they hadn't found the one they were originally searching for so they got a caution. What does that say to them, that they can get away with having a few weapons. Our justice system is all wrong. Murderers are only getting 4 years but the teacher who ran away with his student gets a lot more than that, it truly is backwards.
It is very worrying to know things like this because you really do start to wonder, who do the justice system really protect ?
This is something that needs changing but I don't think it will be changed anytime soon as other things take over which is a problem. I don't believe that I am the only person who shares this opinion, however some people seem to think the same opinions but never bother to bring them to attention so the justice system and the government just believe that we will go along with anything.
