Crime and punishment.
From today's editorial, The real problem with parole for lifers, in The Globe and Mail:
Some crimes are so severe that they merit a life sentence, but it would be inhumane to jail a man or woman forever without hope of release. (Life without parole, a feature of the U.S. justice system, would not pass muster in Canada.)
How is it that someone can permaturely end a life, or in the case of serial killers, several lives, yet it is inhumane for the killer to spend their life in jail?
Why should the criminal have more rights than the victim; in this case a choice the victim never had?
