Law and order 2008: A very tough new world

Published 21 Feb 2008

Significant new criminal law amendments made by the NSW Government in 2007 have upset the finely struck balance between community interest and a defendant's rights that underpins our criminal justice system. The changes flow largely from pre-election promises made during the now all-too-familiar law-and-order auctions that see both the major political parties vying to outdo each with a bristling tough-on-crime posture. Politicians persevere in this stance despite the demonstrated failure of such laws to reduce the rate of major crime and with scant concern for personal rights and liberties.
Law & Order 2007 by Dennis Miralis

Published 21 Jun 2007

As the NSW State election fast approaches, politicians of both sides will attempt to outdo each other in the so called “tough on law and order debate”. If played to script, each Party leader will accuse the other of being “soft on crime” and promise to introduce even tougher laws to punish criminals. Sober statistics reminding us that there has not been an increase in major crime will be ignored. The policies released by the two major Parties so far, show that the bidding war is in full swing.
