Is western justice too soft?

[Astarlessnightsky]

It depends how you see justice and what it should accomplish.

I think the point of a (justice) system has to be detering people from commiting crimes in the first place.

And just increasing the brutality of the punishment doesn't really seems to do it.
The US has the highest crime rate even though it has the toughest prisons, harshest punishments with death penalty and so on.

Off course one can argue that the punishments for each crime needs to be changed and some crimes need harsher punishment.

But just increasing the brutality of the punishments in general probably won't have any effect of prevent crimes.

It's always curious to me, how people can so easily advocate sickness, bloodshed and psychopathy, and yet all in the name of righteousness.

Why don't you do it? Why don't you rape and hack the heads off these people? You might find you're not that much better than the people you condemn. In fact, I'd say you're much worse, since you should know a lot better. You support the institutionalisation of it? Even fucking sicker.

I saw the Isis videos. A lot of psychopaths.
They're everywhere, as it turns out.

And who exactly do you trust enough to make those decision about who lives and who dies? The government?

Be furious if you want, facts dont care about your feeling and your form of justice, the punitive type, simply does not work. All it does is make things worse. It is not just pointless but self-defeating and all so you can feel a sense of barbaric vengeance.

Not only are we above this socially but its just logically a better choice not to do it. The only reason to ever have these policies is in a barbaric and undeveloped country that simply does not know better.

of course. If a rapist or murder is fully convicted without a trace of doubt they should be put to death right away.
With doubt though or Justice fail a fair trail they should not be put to death. Which i can tell you in this case the % of them not been killed will be high anyway cause face it court systems do a bad job and they will all find some doubt somehow.

No. Death is easy. People do it voluntarily. Prison really draws out the suffering.
