VIOLENCE
2002-06-30 Violence these days are growing in a rapid speed around
the world. Why does that happen? Are we doing enough for stoping
that very bad trend? Very good question, but do we have any
influence to create the law, which could change or improve that situation?
No. Politicians like to focus on terrorism and make law very
tough in that matter. What is the difference between terrorism
and common violence, which cause the death of innocent people?
Almost nothing. For example common violence are bringing thousands of
deaths per year. Terrorism on the other hand can bring those numbers in
one single event. Both are breaking the law by killing innocent victims
and why they are not receiving equal approach or punishment? If you look in a statistic than you see that more people
die (I’m talking here about developed countries) from common crime than
from terrorist attacks. Why then politicians don’t want do anything
about it. I think, because when one person is murdered that sounds like
another unfortunate lost of life. But when more people are killed,
politicians start asking yourselves: what, why, sorry, could we do something to
prevent? Why those questions are always too late? We know very well that common crime and terrorism is
simply criminal offence. It’s not any excuse for any criminal
who is killing innocent individuals. Politicians try to make new law
against people involved with terrorism, but they don’t want do anything
against common criminals who kill people. What kind of justice is that?
People involved in a killing process should get severe sentence for such
course of action. Human life is very precious and anybody in any
circumstances has no right to take innocent life by criminals who have a
sick, disgusting, unspeakable and dreadful motives. Fighting with any terror is not easy but politicians sometimes forget about their duties, to look after all citizens equally. We have two issues, which the Government should properly address: 1. International terrorism 2. National terrorism (locally common crime and
terrorism) Fighting with terrorism internationally is so difficult
because of divided world with luck of understanding people’s rights,
freedom and democracy. In that case on that front we won’t see much improvement
for a long time. Fighting with a common crime and national terrorism is
easier because for that we need only co-operate and deal with people in one
country. In those circumstances it is very easy to sit down and talk about
it with groups involved, communities and citizens. It’s easy to change or make
new law against terror and violent crime, which would protect all citizens equally,
particularly victims. But a law mostly is for punishment not for preventing
crime. That’s why the Government should have bigger involvement
in preventing any crime. We can say that the Government don’t do much
or not enough in that very important matter. Preventing crimes is a very
expensive exercise, where often we can see effects after a long period of
time. Usually outcome of that takes more time than one term in a Parliament,
that’s why politicians don’t like to put sufficient money for any kind of
prevention. Of course, we can see now some good results from the “border
protection scheme, anti drugs campaign or gun law”. That is some good examples of how
preventing along with tough law can bring very good effects. That’s why politicians have to do more in prevention
areas because in a long term we will be having more benefit from that for
our safety. Politicians have to recognize too, that preventions
mostly is meaning “understanding”, proper identifying cause of violence
and correctly addressing that problem. That’s why our fight with
terror and crime, particularly common crime should focus on a very tough
law and prevention all together. Tough law will never get out
the roots of crime, for this reason we need preventing schemes and the law
joined together for achieving that. Politicians have to direct their
attention towards innocent victims; take appropriate understanding people rights to
live their life in peace and being surrounded by safe environment. Please go to see my previous article “LAW AND ORDER”. Back to home page |
