In general they have an extremely low crime rate.
What laws should they change?
And what TDF said.  |
I guess not so much the laws but the penalties for breaking the laws. I think if their (Norway's) homicide rate climes over a period of time, the punishments will get stiffer (not that it would prevent violent crimes).
21 years for what he did seems a little weak to me. What happens after 21 years if they consider him no longer a threat, should he be free? I personally don't think so. I think there is a difference between rehabilitation and punishment. He needs to be punished and 21 years isn't enough punishment in my mind.
Our crime rate is a joke and I think it’s due to the society that we live in. Watching the news each night, it’s like a bunch of animals are living amongst us. Not sure what the answer is..................
