Just been reading that boss of crown prosecution service have issued new rules and guidance called the proportionality test.

In essence lots of so called minor crimrs theft, minor assaults to name a few are not likely to end up being prosecuted as rules taking into account scale of crime and cost of court action.

Dangerous road we are on in my view cps may deem assault as minor but what about the victims.

In essence its leaving risk of perpetrators of crime free to commit crime with no action taken.

If principle of this accepted what will be next in line to be deemed as minor and not worth prosecution.

All crime if proven must have deterrents and consequences.

Diversion from prosecution has been used in Scotland for years.

The Procurator Fiscal decides on who will be suitable for this intervention, as it doesn't involve the offender getting off with the crime, but they will be expected to work on the issues that led to the offence, ie alcohol misuse.

They are usually first time offenders, whose behaviour has been completely out of character.

Yes its about saving money but also about not ruining life chances for someone thats made a genuine error of judgement.

Sometimes it works....sometimes it doesn't

What about the victims? The criminal justice system isn't a hitman you hire to exact whatever revenge you decide is suitable when you've been wronged.
