Explanation:
Depending on the offense, this quote bears a lot of truth. Should murderers be given a lesser sentence because they were deprived as children? Maybe they were molested and abused and no one of value gave them the right direction. Then there are molesters. Nine out of ten times a molester was at one point molested. There are very few cases where the murderer was defending him or herself and yes, I believe these accounts need to be taken in consideration. But the majority of murderers knowingly understood the consequences and still chose to kill. Whether it was in regards to drinking and driving, gang affiliation etc..etc..etc. As for molesters, some dispute whether a nineteen year old dating a sixteen year old is molestation, yet they are held as accountable as molesters who rae toddlers. Unfortunately, this is not how our justice system works. In order to protect our children set rules are in place so no one can cross those lines. A murderer gets a life sentence but a pedophile gets some time in prison and is then released into the public to most likely prey again. Sure they have to register as sex offenders, but when is the last time you checked for sex offenders in your neighborhood? The numbers are astounding. It should be held in as high a regard as murder and the sentence should be life imprisonment or death. As a society we can not allow the opportunity for these heinous crimes to occur again. Our children are at stake. The seriousness of a crime should label the punishment. Our empathy as to what made these criminals become criminals can not be taken into account, because to do so endangers the lives of the innocent.
