Revenge in the legal system

Should the desire for revenge play any part in the legal system or the punishment of criminals?
How can an innocent victim be helped to come to terms with the effects of a crime committed
against him/herself?

The role of revenge in the legal system is controversial. On one hand, revenge can be seen as a
response to wrongdoing, driven by emotions such as anger and a desire for justice. People who
agree with this position, argue that revenge can serve as a form of catharsis for victims and their
families, providing them with a sense of closure and satisfaction. In some cases, allowing victims to
participate in the legal process or have a say in the punishment of offenders may help address
their need for revenge in a constructive manner.

On the other hand, the legal system aims to administer justice impartially, based on laws and
principles, rather than personal emotions or desires. Opinions on this side consider that revenge
has no place in the legal system because it can lead to disproportionate or excessive punishments,
undermine the principles of fairness and due process, and perpetuate cycles of violence. Instead,
the legal system should focus on principles such as deterrence, rehabilitation, and restitution to
address crime and promote justice.

Ultimately, the extent to which revenge should play a part in the legal system depends on cultural,
ethical, and philosophical perspectives. Balancing the need for accountability and justice with the
principles of fairness, proportionality, and rehabilitation is a complex challenge for legal systems
around the world.

Helping an innocent victim come to terms with the effects of a crime committed against them
requires the fulfillment of physical, emotional, and psychological needs. Some ways to support
victims in this process may be providing the victims access to support services such as counselling,
therapy or support groups; providing the victims information about their legal rights and involving
them in the legal process, giving them opportunities to take decisions regarding their case and
implementing measures such as restraining orders to help victims feel safe regarding their fears
and anxiety

Overall, helping innocent victims come to terms with the effects of a crime requires a holistic and
compassionate approach that prioritizes their well-being, dignity, and autonomy. By addressing
their immediate needs and supporting their long-term healing and resilience, we can assist victims
in reclaiming their lives and moving forward from the trauma they have experienced.
