Under British and Australian laws, a jury in a criminal case has no access to information about the defendant’s past criminal record. This protects the person who is being accused of the crime. Some lawyers have suggested that this practice should be changed and that a jury should be given all the past facts before they reach their decision about the case. Do you agree or disagree?

The Australian and British judiciary systems provide with almost zero information and details of any suspect’s past criminal background which often results in the person’s walking free of any charge. It is being argued that

this

practice should be abolished by providing complete and accurate information about the accused.

would bring down the crime rate and maintain peace at large. It is often witnessed that in many cases the verdict does not appeal the victim and his family members due to lack of supporting ev

instigates fair play.

Secondly

, fear needs to be housed in the minds of the wrong thinkers and doers. They should be well versed with the idea that any wrongdoing would be dealt with severely and strictly by taking everything into consideration. If they are aware that no criminal past record is checked, no information is being accessed to deal with the ca

cases, then

then

there is a high possibility of crime rate going up with each passing day. Anyone and everyone would be confident about not getting caught in the

first

place or even if they do get caught, they will walk out free someday. In conclusion, a judicial system in order to be fair and transparent needs to have full access to all the past records of every individual who gets registered with the police or the government regarding any crime or other issue.

This

will enable to give the right punishment to the right person.
