laws and that
New laws may be being implemented soon to give lenient sentences to rapists and men involved in domestic abuse as long as the men can convince a jury they can change and go into counselling.
For me, this is a topic laced with many dangers, because while I see the need the for a punishment, a concequence for violent and inexcusable behaviour I also see a greater need for change in character and a learning curve to be implemented.
Prison is such an easy answer to any question, its such a cop out to punish people by making them dissapear and hope that when they’re reintroduced back to society they’ll function appropriately. If you already flaunt the law because you see no problem with it then what should happen so greatly in prison that would change your mind on the way back out? Something should be implemented to change views and opinions, punishment is not enough alone.
Of course, when does one say that someone has reformed their character? How can you tell that after two months in intensive counselling that a man will go back to his wife, or to a new partner with the respect any decent human being should give to another?
reform should be an important part of prison, and its not, at least as far as im aware its not. and so if we cannot reform criminals in prison what is the point of sending them there? to clean up the streets? its hardly clean when you can find the dirt just by the sidelines. so maybe this shows some sort of leeway with laws changing, and people changing. rather than pushing men with no respect for women into an all male environment where they arent learning to cope with their problems, problems which make the victimise women for their weakness, maybe we should look at the social implications of their actions.
ive been reading stiffed for a while now, and it covers a lot of problems with males feeling displaced in society and this feeling of loss being related to violence towards women, towards women these men felt were taking their rightful position in the home. and these men were sent to counselling groups where they would search for a supprt system that was not available to them as men.
i dont want to excuse anyones actions, allow them to go free for their crimes btu surely true penance for your wrongs is served when you realise the things you have done are wrong.
