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?

In British and Australia, a
judge
can'Use synonyms
t
get permission to know the previous criminal Use synonyms
history
of the accused person which resulted in the protection of the defendant. Use synonyms
Consequently
, it is suggested by some lawyers that Linking Words
this
culture ought to be changed and a Linking Words
judge
should be provided all the previous records before achieving their final comment about the case. In my opinion, I Use synonyms
also
agreed with the suggestion given by some judges.
On one hand, the court doesn'Linking Words
t
give access to past information of defendants to the Use synonyms
Judge
to make a final Use synonyms
decision
. Sometimes past events may affect the Use synonyms
judge
's negative views and thinking ability on the people who accused of the case but actually he/she not. Use synonyms
For instance
, suppose a person who was involved with a Linking Words
crime
before coincidently but Use synonyms
this
person doesn'Linking Words
t
commit any Use synonyms
crime
at Use synonyms
this
time. In Linking Words
this
scenario, if a Linking Words
judge
takes the Use synonyms
decision
based on the previous Use synonyms
history
, it might be inaccurate and punish an innocent one. Use synonyms
However
, know the other crimes would help the Linking Words
judge
sometimes to give a more precise Use synonyms
decision
and prevent misunderstandings.
Use synonyms
On the other hand
, it is perceived by some judges that they must need to know the past facts to make a final Linking Words
decision
about the accused people. Use synonyms
Although
the Linking Words
decision
should be based on the present Use synonyms
crime
and present laws rules, sometimes it is really difficult to know the nature of accused people without knowing his/her past Use synonyms
crime
. Use synonyms
For example
, suppose a robbery has been done by a group of the gang in a country but the police couldn'Linking Words
t
catch them at the spot. In Use synonyms
this
case, the Linking Words
judge
must need to know the previous Use synonyms
history
of these types of crimes to make a final Use synonyms
decision
.
In conclusion, there are different ideas in court and laws where a Use synonyms
judge
can play a role based on the situation. Use synonyms
Nevertheless
, knowing the past Linking Words
history
is the most important part to make a final Use synonyms
decision
about a Use synonyms
crime
