Also "at least where denmark is concerned" I'd like to see a full re evaluation and overhaul of the sentencing system, wich imo is waaaay! outdated.
These benchmarks where set back in the early 20'th century where economical crime was penalized alot harder than physical crime. but times hacve changed and I at least find it apualing that someone gets a few mounths for rape, or beating someone to a vegi state, but go steal 10.000 from a persons account and you'll end up spending 5-10 years.
Well, I think most governments are harsher on crimes that effect them financially. i.e tax evasion, non payment of fines etc. At least our UK government. This type of crime affects their income directly, which is why I think they are so harsh on it.
They were quite willing to imprison OAP's for non-payment of council tax. Folks who have never committed any previous offences, but just stood up for against a tax they simply could not afford to pay.
