I read the paper everyday and they list crimes committed and pictures of suspects in a section called law & order. The crimes run the gamut from theft to murder and everything in between. I don't know if it's just this area or nationwide, but I see so many repeat offenders and lifelong criminals violating probation and being caught again, like they have been most of their lives. Too often I see at the end of the report that if the person completes a 120 day drug/alcohol program they can be released. That's not much punishment for a life of crime.
On a different note, I get tired of seeing regular criminals get hefty sentences for, let's say car theft or drug possession, and these corporate criminals who steal millions get nothing, or in smaller cases here, the white collar crooks get probation for thousands or hundreds of thousands in theft. Our justice system leaves a lot to be desired.
