criminals are wicked and should be punished.can you justify?

Answer 1

Any person found guilty of any offence under the provisions of the criminal law gets punished for the offence they commit. To file a criminal complaint is different issue but to get the accused convicted is another as the prosecution can only be successful in getting the accused convicted if the prosecution can produce sufficient evidence against the accused & prove to the satisfaction of the trial court that apart from these evidence the circumstances of the case clearly show the indulgence of the accused in the complained offence beyond any reasonable doubt.

Answer 2

LOL at the second answer ... so, based on THAT logic, it's ok to break laws I personally feel are unjust. It just so happens that I don't feel it's right to continue paying taxes into a fraudulent system. By your explanation, since the tax laws are unfair and unjust, I should be exempt from paying. But, how fair would that be to the millions of others who DO follow the unjust tax laws? Please spare me your bleeding heart syndrome.

To answer the question: Criminals are not always wicked. Sometimes they are naive, sometimes they're in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, ignorance of the law is not an excuse (as has been shown time and again throughout court history) to break the law. You break a law, you do your time.

Answer 3

That assumes that the only laws that exist are laws intended to prevent evil -- and that's not the case.

Many laws regulate conduct based solely on society comfort levels. Many regulate conduct solely to reduce risks, even if no harm is actually done.

And "wicked" implies an evil intent -- but many laws are punishable even if the person was not aware they were breaking the law, or even if they thought they were following the law.

So, no, I don't agree with the premise.

Answer 4

In every case? What if the law the criminal breaks is unjust, discriminatory, or wicked in and of itself? Does that make the criminal wicked if they break it? History is replete with unjust and destructive laws. Consider Archetypes such as Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, or Batman (or any other superhero.) Or historical figures such as Spartacus, Ghandi,our Founding Fathers, and Jesus. All of these people were criminals. Were they wicked? So I guess, no, I cannot justify your statement.
