Criminal justice system vs. Victim justice system...?

Question

Does anyone else think we should do a rehaul and change the "criminal" justice system to the "victim" justice system?

Answer 1

Victims get their justice when the person who did them wrong is rightfully convicted and sentenced.

Answer 2

Though I do agree with you that we need to remove bad cops I believe you are looking at the taser from the wrong point of view. Would you rather be tasered, suffering a quick short shock that you do not suffer from afterwards or a wrestling match with a police officer? Although some cops make bad judgements as to when to use them some of the incidents where they are used and you think they shouldnt are for the safety of the suspect and the officer. First off, you do not understand how powerful people can be. a 9 year old was off his medication and suffered from ADD and learning difficulty. He began beating his mother up and it took 4 adults to hold him down and we still got bitten. Just because someone is young or old, big or small should not come into the equation of when the taser is issued. If you think it should, I will introduce some 6 year olds that will put a few bruises on you or an old age pensioner who could probably kill you. Also, breaking the law is breaking the law. If they are required to be removed from somewhere or arrested as it infringes on other peoples rights, and they refuse to do so, then I believe they should be tasered before they end up with bruises and cuts and the officer is blamed for excessive force. You cant just pick and choose the laws to break and the police just cant say 'Oh well, you just stole something or trespassed and we really want to take you to jail but you wont come so bye bye'. I like you would like to see some changes within the criminal justice system. Better pay for cops would lead to better quality as the police agencies could be competitive with other careers. But as it is, the pay is low, they are sued on a regular basis and they are not allowed to do their job so you have to put up with it until you are willing to come out of your pocket and pay higher taxes to get better police

Answer 3

Everyone deserves a day in court.There exist a large amount of people that are incarcerated,sometimes for years,that are found to be innocent.I understand though how you can feel as a victim,and waiting for the criminal to be crucified.
