JUDGE RICHARD BRAY LAMENTS SOFT JUSTICE !

 

Judge Richard Bray in his retirement speech lamented the unofficial restrictions suggested or guidelines given to the Judiciary when sentencing criminals. I fully agree with his comments !


How can judges apply the laws of the land, enacted by Parliament, when politicians do not ensure that there are sufficiant Prisons to house Criminals ?

How is it that such restrictive guidelines are permitted ?

The ultimate result is that habitual criminals are never deterred from committing further crimes.  They run the risk of being caught and if caught, they know they could be softly admonished !

If, when criminals are sentenced, they are made to understand that the next time the sentence will be doubled, that would be a deterrent !

There would be less crime and Governments would not have to tinker with the real statistics on crime to save face with their electorate !
