Over the past hundred or so years, we have striven to avoid a system based on objective justice where the only factor considered in sentencing offenders is the type of crime committed. Quite the opposite is true. The person, motives and circumstances all have to be taken into account.
Earlier we were discussing organized crime and criminal gangs. We are all against these organizations but not all offenders are part of these groups. An objective assessment of a crime leads to the same sentence for an offender acting alone as for one that is part of an organization. However, it is not at all the same crime.
