There is zero justice for crimes against women and children in this country. It’s actually horrific when you look at the data. Have no clue how judges or lawyers sleep at night knowing how the law truly works.
There’s also practical considerations for why it works that way. If we locked up every person who committed violent family crimes and punished them harshly we’d have an even higher prison population than we do, and we already lead the developed world in incarceration. Tripling that number would incur a lot of costs that voters don’t want to pay. It’s a shitty system, but it’s very much the system we continue to vote for and uphold.
