discuss the effects of delay, uncertainty and ignorance on crime and the perception of justice

Delay, uncertainty and ignorance cause people to commit crime as they give people the false impression that they would be punished lightly or not at all. The perception that the juridical system is inefficient would also encourage people to turn to crime as punishment may not be meted out.In some countries, the jurisdictions may be ineffective and corrupted. Trials for minor offences often drag over a year or two. This delay provides courage for the criminal as they need not face the consequences immediately. Uncertainty is the odds of getting apprehended by the law enforcers, and the odds of getting behind the bars, on average, no more than three felonies out of a hundred results in an imprisonment. Moreover, ignorance of the system of the world often causes us to think that getting caught is difficult and getting acquitted is easier than getting jailed or punished. Delays, uncertainly and ignorance are all false perceptions conjured due to the poor juridical system. Ignorance is derived from the delay and uncertainty as they prove an impression that they could have a higher chance of getting away scot-free. For example, AJC students who play sports without P.E shirt often ignore the rules as they believe that their chances of getting caught by the P.E teachers are slim. This is a phenomenon conjured by the brain- Ignorance.Another reason for the increasing crime rate is due to the public perception of the justice system. If the justice system is weak and inefficient, people would dare to commit crimes as they could easily get away scot-free. On the other hand, a quick and strong system would deter people from committing crimes as their chances of getting is imprisoned is high. Thus we can see that the low rate of imprisonment due to poor justice system causes crime rates to increase. Ironically, high crime rates also causes low rate of imprisonment as the high number of trials may choke the entire jurisdiction, forcing for judges and law enforcers to acquit criminals and some even without a trial.Thus a transparent and effective juridical system is the only way to eliminate delay, uncertainty, ignorance and build a fearful view of justice which will deter people from committing crimes
