Answer 1

Making laws more strict is not the solution. People who want to get things done the other way round will anyways have their way. It is the people and their mentality has actually needs to be changed. And as far as the flaws are concerned, I think there are no major flaws in our law system. If we be honest towards our society and our system, we won't even need severe punishments like death penalty.

In most Arab countries people are practically beheaded for every law they break but still continues to be the factory from terrorists are supplied and the present scenario shows that mismanagement and lawlessness couldn't become worse in any other country.

Answer 2

Just making laws more strict won't reduce crime. For instance, look at capital punishment, people know that if they kill someone that they can be put to death for it and yet we still have people being murdered. Harsh punishments just don't seem to work. For instance, as of the end of 2006 there were over 7 million people who were incarcerated or serving probation in the United States (1) This number exceeds the total number of incarcerated persons in ANY other country. I think this shows that the United States is hardly the role model country when it comes to our criminal justice system and the way we deal with crime. Obviously we have some tough decisions to make when it comes to reducing the number of incarcerated individuals and making our country safer. One route would be to redefine some behaviors that we consider criminal (such as drug possession which would Greatly reduce the prison population as well as save tax payer money in taking care of these people while they are incarcerated as well as the money and time law enforcers spend in trying to find these people.) Another problem, and a much larger one, is the fact that the poor are much more likely to commit crimes in the first place. This is the reason there are so many minorities in prison, because they tend to be more impoverished than other groups. It is hard to claim that wealth has nothing to do with the problem of crime when such a huge percentage of the prison population is from the lower class. It goes back to the undeniable fact that when someone is financially stable in life they are far less likely to participate in activities that could lead to incarceration. The answer to curbing criminal behavior may be wealth redistribution, although highly unlikely (and improbable.)

The second part of your question is hard for me to answer. What flaws do you see in Indian policy? The tribes are considered to be sovereign wards of the federal government and thus have rights that cannot be interfered with by the state. If by flaws you mean that the federal government has too much control over the affairs of these tribes who's history goes back well beyond the founding of our country, or even the discovery of this continent, then I agree with you, and the current trend points to these tribes gaining more power over their own affairs as they attain more financial security and lift themselves and their people out of poverty. However, if you mean the flaws in the Indian system that allow them to operate casinos on tribal trust land in places where gambling is otherwise illegal, that belongs to congress and contrary to popular belief each tribe must work out a compact with the state to even allow them to operate in that state, and even though they are exempt from state tax the state usually works some way to get paid from these compacts. In many states the tribe pays for roads, highways in the areas, funds schools, contributes money to law enforcement etc. etc. Casinos stimulate the economy and provide jobs and many tribes, such as the Chickasaws in Oklahoma also use their money to create other businesses that higher anybody (including the casinos) such as a Chocolate Factory, several gas stations, and a laser tag and bowling alley. These things also stimulate the economy, and it is hard to say that there is a flaw in a system that seems to do so much to uplift the financial situation of an entire community, whites and Indians both.

Answer 3

We are a democratic country. Our democracy has stood the test repeatedly. We have material with greater insights about well established principles of democracy. It is better moral practice that determines the quality of society and not the rigorous laws. Similar to the situation that a child will comply with the guidance of parents spontaneously when dealt with love and effection rather than harash treatment.

Answer 4

Sorry boss! for this, you need to form a strong political party and get on to the seat of a law minister!

Our law ministry is deaf and dumb and blind to the suggestions of citizens!

It is my own experience of over 20 years!

I wanted them to change the words husband and wife from sec 497 & 498 of IPC to spouse to ensure justice to a wife against adulterous females.

But see what NCW is doing after repeated requests to change the law!

Now NCW says that adultry and enticing away another woman's husband are no crimes & are not criminal laws at all!

So, do not expect just laws not at least in India at least till persons like me are not in the seat of authority!

Answer 6
