I'm not justifying some of the knee-jerk comments ,I made one myself, but I just cannot condone the woolly-minded liberalism that asks us to act in accordance with some higher moral thinking that dictates we must treat a crimal with the sympathy and understanding that the justice system does not seem to extend, in many cases, to the victim.

I do agree that every possible resource and help available appears to favour the criminal and not the victim and it is a very different reaction when it involves ourselves or our loved ones and yes there are some mindless tw*ts out there.. quite a lot of them. It is, as you say, difficult to remain sympathetic or understanding. I sometimes see the damage evolving from a very early age, and it makes no difference whether it is intentional or unintentional from the parents...it will not make the end result different. If someone harms someone, they remain harmed...and no amount of understanding will ever alter that. I don't know what the answer is Livia
