The criminal justice system is (partly) failing because we allow people back into society that re-offend multiple multiple times. Assuming it can be categorically proven you're not being coerced e.g. 'do this or your family die!' I don't think it's right people are still roaming free that have for example, multiple times, broken into peoples homes.
After x number of offences, lock up, throw away the proverbial key. Goodness knows we p*ss enough money down the proverbial drain on various stuff, so why not direct some of it to the building of more prisons to house these scum?
Oh but studies show prison doesn't work, these people need rehabilitated. Agreed. However, I'd say if you've re-offended 20+ times or whatever, you're likely a lost cause. At that stage, stopping the chances of future victims should become the priority. Remember them? The victims?
Excellent post
Is there a country that has a system where their justice system works? If so who are they and what do they do differently. By this, I mean rehab of offenders
