Criminal Laws

I think that the capital punishment in no case is a good solution to reduce criminality. To Think otherwise would mean having as a premise that all the population thinks in a rational way. As a matter of fact, the people act according to the reality that they are living. For example, if a person has lived in a home with violence it’s very probable that the same person does the same acts.

Definitily the capital punishment doesn’t have any pros. This punishment gives shape a society with hate, anger, violence and revenge. A society like described above don’t have any chance of moving towards a more just society.

Respect the criminal rates, i think that there are two reasons for believe that we lives in a city with criminality. In first place a ideology of fear and insecurity that has locked everyone and in second place a society with high levels of inequality. In addition Chile is one of the countrys of Latin America that have a law level of criminality. For this i think that the most important is reduce the levels of inequality; and the government should worry about that.

I've never been the victim of a criminal act, and very few people that I know have been victims. the only person that I know has been victim of a pick pocketing is my mother.
