Sentencing Policy
If there's one thing about the criminal justice system that makes me see red - it's the sentences handed down to violent sex offenders.
Yesterday I read about another terrible tale in which a 40 year old man received a six year prison sentence - for kidknapping and sexually assaulting a 14 year-old school girl.
The man involved was a father of three - and admitted a previous abduction and assault.
And that's my point - violent sex offenders are incapable of rehabilitation - in my humble opinion.
Letting violent sex offenders back onto the streets after a few years in jail - simply results in more victims down the line.
Take Peter Tobin - now exposed as a serial killer and finally in prison for life - had a catalogue of offences for violent sex crimes - before he progressed to snatching and murdering young women off the streets.
I'd wager a small bet that if men were the victims of such horrible crimes down the years - there would have been a change in sentencing policy long ago.
