How is crime dealt with in your nation?

Postby Iujloko » Sat May 25, 2013 2:31 pm

In any country or nation there's always people who chose to ignore the existence of the laws and sometimes even common sense and go against them. We refer to them as "criminals". To prevent complete chaos and disaster, governments must deal with this troublesome class. How does your country deal with crime? What is the most severe punishment? Is it possible to bail criminals out, i.e. pay a certain amount of money to release one?

In Iujloko, crime is dealt with to extremes, because we are a young nation and high levels of crime could destroy our country. Generally, offenders are required to compensate with something of equal value. So, for theft, you'd need to give up an item that costs as much as what you stole (apart from returning what you stole, of course). If you murdered someone, you get a death penalty. If you invaded someone's privacy, all of your private information the government can get their hands on is revealed to the public. And so forth, and so on. The police officers patrol the streets, usually in civil clothes, and look out for anything even remotely suspicious. Prisons don't exist as all the punishments are carried out right away when the convict is considered guilty. Repeat offenders get death penalties.

Since Volkia is a small nation, we are strict on crime. You're sent to Volkian Imprisonments on your first crime. Your second crime is lifetime imprisonment, your third is death penalty. Our crime level is low right now due to this system.

Uh... How do you even commit a third one if you're in prison forever since the second one? Inside of the prison? Would be kind of difficult, wouldn't it?

Committing a crime inside a prison is possible, but rare. We rarely have death penalties.

So if you just stole like 2p from somebody 3 times would you have to face execution?

Initially with extreme violence followed by the Death Penalty. Presumption of guilt of an accused is built into the system.

Wait, I'm not sure I understand. So if I don't like some guy, I can go to the police and say he stole my phone (which he really didn't do) and he'll be punished without any sort of examination or proof?

Valendia's focus is on addressing the root causes of crime rather than taking a punitive attitude. Given that the two chief instigators of criminal activity tend to be poverty and psychological disorder, the government focuses heavily on addressing these issues through public assistance and mental healthcare programs. For those that are convicted, the penal system in Valendia is geared more towards rehabilitation rather than punishment, focusing on community service, giving inmates usable skills, etc. This has had a high level of success; most crime tends to be relatively trivial or white-collar.

For more heinous crimes life imprisonment is an option, and the death penalty is still on the books for the worst crimes like multiple homicide, espionage, and treason. Valendia currently uses nitrogen asphyxiation as its method of execution given that it is a painless and humane means.

You go to jail.

There, you are indoctrinated re-educated on Britannian culture and customs, all while being forced to work in dangerous areas doing an honest man's job.

If the crime is less severe(possession of illegal drugs, homosexuality), then the culprit is sent to rehabilitation.

Police strictly enforce laws in Paparian.
Having said that,there are still those who think they can get away with it.
As such,police will not hesitate to use force even for offences such as shoplifting,double parking,jaywalking,littering and so forth.
Here is a picture of what the police does to a jaywalker.

The criminal law system in the Commonwealth of Themiclesia is based in the common law and certain statutes (written law).

Criminal actions are, according to severity, divided into 6 categories: High Treason, Petty Treason, Misprision of Treason, Felony, Gross Misdemeanour, and Misdemeanour.

A criminal action can be started by anybody against anybody. If A wants to start a criminal action, he has a choice between an appeal or an indictment. Indictment, two avenues: 1 - go to the court, present an affidavit about the facts to the problem, and try to convince the a grand jury to issue out an indictment, then present the indictment to the chancery for them to issue a writ to summon his defendant; 2 - go to the police station, swear to the same affidavit, and have it presented to the crown counsel, who will try to convince the grand jury to issue the indictment, the the crown will go to the chancery to issue the writ of summons. The appeal must be started by 2 sworn witnesses who cannot be the plaintiff himself, but you can skip the grand jury stage this way.

In all criminal cases, a jury of 12 of the defendant's peers are summoned to investigate into the facts of the case, and to deliver a verdict. All 12 jurors must concur to convict a person, though the sentence is left to the judge.

We are very forgiving when it comes to crime, we mostly try to rehabilitate you and get you back on the road.
Of course when it's a serious crime, like murder or rape, you are being arrested and sentenced, according to the seriousness of your crime and your criminal background.
When it's a petty theft, like car shopping which is quiet common among bored teenagers, the punishment isn't a lifetime sentence, but more like community service and perhaps a fine.
This has proved to be practical and efficient.

Misdemeanors are punished with a fine and perhaps a community service order.

We take a rehabilitative approach for minor felonies and petty thieves and other less serious felons spend their prison sentences in relatively comfortable prison farms where they are offered education and a chance to get beck on the right path.

Major felonies still have a rehabilitative approach but we also make their prison stay more punitive , they spend their sentences in spartan but comfortable prison factories where they are required to work 8 hours a day as well as attend rehabilitation sessions and pursue their education.

Those sentenced to the most serious crimes such as murder, rape and slavery are sent to penal colonies on the most hellish worlds we can find, such as worlds close to their star that have lakes of molten tin or worlds with poisonous atmospheres there they work inside the environmentally self-contained colonies performing tasks such as mining or in a factory.

Capital offenders such as third time offender murderers and rapists are held in a secure facility inside the palace of justice where they can pursue their appeal/clemency process , and if they are unable to build a appeal case they are put to death by a painless lethal injection.

Brutally, just brutally. The police have free reign on how they wish to punish you and so do the courts. You have very little civil rights, and you can see by reading our factbook.
