Have you only just woken up to it now? I suggest you read Frank Field MP's recent proposals to rebalance the justice system in favour of decent people. However it would need the criminal justice system as a whole to come round to the idea that the victims of criminality are exactly that and are the ones who deserve help and protection rather than giving the benefit of the doubt to criminals who just laugh at society. Ask Joe Hanson - he knows :( Fiona Pilkington knew as well but the societal culture of 'rights' and 'entitlements' that your Labour party has supported, grown and encouraged (although not necessarily started I grant you that), has left significant chunks of this country morally bankrupt.
