I think that would be a great way to determine the sentance. Make the criminal suffer for at least as long as his victim did.

The concept probably only works right with real persons and not also with companies and the like (can a company suffer?).
Anyway, there's much too much 'an eye for an eye' in this one for me.

So the perpetrator of a crime should suffer LESS than his victim?

In some cases I think this would be right.
For example if you run over my dog with your car I might be scarred for life and never really get over it. Would that mean that you should be sentenced to lifetime damnation?

Anyone who runs over a dog, specifically, should be rewarded with a thousand dollars. Bad example, I hate dogs. But if you kill someone, you should never get out. If you rape someone, you should also never get out. If you just steal something, you should be in jail until they recover financially. <-- a person, not a corporation. For corporate crimes, I think it should be different. |

So if I steal from a millionaire who doesn't need to recover financially and doesn't even really suffer from that loss at all I should not be sentenced to jail for as long as I take from some middle class guy?

I think the length of sentences is pretty stupid - in the UK, a 'life sentence' is about 15 years :S how long do they expect people to live nowadays?

This is a stupidly reductionist way of seeing the way justice should be administrated. It dosnt take in account the intent of the perpetrator, it dosnt take into accont the gravity of suffering of the victim; only the "lenth". Most crimes against a person would be ackloedged as having life long consequences. Like the US didnt imprison enough of its citizens as it is already...

It depends on the crime. I mean, rapists aren't sentenced to live in prison, but they're victims will suffer for life. But somebody who kills somebody in a car accident will effect somebody for life, but getting into a car is a risk. He shouldn't be punished for life just because the family will grieve for the rest of their lives.

I don't know, maybe. It sounds like a good plan to me.

I don't think that the sentence should have anything to do with how much time the victim will suffer.

What if they purposely take longer to recover so you'll stay in jail longer? There are holes that need to be worked out. |
