Jail is too light of sentence these days. Criminals know that they can get away with anything these days. Human rights does not think of victims of crime and damage it causes to society. Look at Hollywood and movies around the world. People will take action into their own hands as criminal justice system does more to protect criminals than victims. Bring back torture so people know that they will suffer for their crimes.
