..don't know of hand, but let me raid my archives, hey !

..to establish guilt, both the act and the intent have to be present beyond reasonable doubt. The test on intent is set to a very high standard .. read up on R v Woollin to get the gist of what I'm saying !

..of course H, at heart is to protect the innocent from harm ! agencies are in operation.

..the point with which I was trying to advance was to show that there are other agents responsible for the way we behave, such as condition [environment] and hormones [genetic]. And, when it comes to sentencing we have to take into account mitigating circumstances, which doesn't remove the guilt factor but reduces the level of culpability.

..absolutely !

Humans by nature are not criminal, hate and disgust is not the answer. The hate factor intensifies the focuses into emotion-cultivating and rage-rallying. Don't need that, Sikhi teaches different. We could collectively contribute towards getting more resources put into preventing and dealing with crime generally. We could collectively advocate for the diversification of resources into conducive enterprises and build close community networking to foster human values. We could invest much more into research and development to eradicate some if not all of our contemporary issues. The Indus valley civilisation [meaning us] once championed such a euphoric state where crime was never heard of. And, I'm humbled to acknowledge that our moral standards are high and high will they remain.

Goodnight Youngman !
