Law & Criminality.

From my perspective about 'law' describes from the word itself. Law. Law makes a perspective of people doing a serious crime not about something simple as shop lifting - even if it's a serious offense. Law relates to the government. Over the fact that they are biased and 'law' only been created by the council not from what the countries would love to feel free of.

"An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so"
- Mahatma Gandhi


Law; just from the word, makes it sound incredibly powerful. Sometimes, the word 'powerful' for me seems very biased. That they would let the powerful yet the most dangerous people to bail out of jail while poor yet most innocent person stay in jail for eternity.


Death. This could lead to the problem of law in my view. How could death be related to law? Yes, we have done something horribly wrong but death? Yes, I would agree that people who should be killed due to a huge issue should be punished but most of this people, were never given any second chance. They could be the ones who are innocent and were given death because of some other powerful person paying the government to do so. This is not ideal.

"The law ... will not bend to the uncertain wishes, imaginations and wanton tempers of men ... On the one hand it is inexorable to the cries and lamentations of the prisoners; on the other it is deaf, deaf as an adder to the clamors of the populace."
- John Adams

In my view, Law is cruel.
