How many times have we heard about violent criminals and sex offenders being let out onto the streets and causing more harm to society? Here is another example, from the UK:

A 35-year-old man accused of snatching a six-year-old girl from a bath and raping her is a convicted paedophile, Newcastle Crown Court has heard.
Peter Voisey, of Blyth, Northumberland, denies abduction, rape and sexual assault in Willington Quay, North Tyneside, on 27 December last year.

The jury heard he molested a girl, aged 12, in the changing rooms of a leisure centre in Macclesfield, in July 2001.

He admitted indecent assault and was convicted in September that year.

Now, my area is commercial law, not criminal law, but I have a pretty good idea that "indecent assault" is considerably different from "molesting a child". What do you think?

How many more kids/abused wives/whatever have to be harmed or even killed before the courts actually charge and convict people for the crimes they commit, not just the ones they plead to?

Also from the UK:

More than 1,000 violent crimes, including five killings, have been committed by prisoners released early with electronic tags, it has emerged.
Home Office figures show tagged offenders have committed one murder and four manslaughters, among other crimes, since the scheme began in 1999.

Raise your hands, everyone who thinks this is ok.
