This article speaks volumes about what is wrong with the two-tier Ontario educational system. On the one hand our public system is chronically underfunded while the catholic system is running surpluses (this is taxpayer money, by the way) and wasting taxpayer money on overpriced religious art and $45,000 diligence trips by trustees who know nothing about art. Personally, I consider this a breach of public trust. https://lnkd.in/g6XYGYg4

𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑳𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑬𝑵𝑫 𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑭𝒀 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑴𝑬𝑨𝑵𝑺? 2 Ever imagine a society where the end actually justifies the means? A society where anything desirable can be acquired by hook or crook Whether the means violates the law or kills anybody As long as plenty of power, money with wealth is just there for grab Should the end indeed actually justify the means? God forbid that we live where the end actually justifies the means Where either the law or human conscience appears not to exist at all Or where the law exists but never enforced against everybody . A society where money and wealth are rated higher than love Where the rule of law or peace of mind of folks do not matter at all. God forbid that we’ll ever accept to live where the end justifies the means! #buokorie #militarylaw #nigerianlawyer #nigerianairforce #trendinginNigeria #nigerianarmy

There is no denying the fact that crime and lack of respect for law and law enforcement are on the increase, especially in America and Europe. This increase of lawlessness, though, is by design. It is fostered by the most powerful people in the world, the so-called elites, as part of an overall scheme to corrupt, weaken, and ultimately destroy Western civilization. What person in their right mind would imagine that defunding the police would make cities safer? Who thought it was a good idea not to prosecute and incarcerate criminals? Surely, the open borders policy of America and Europe, allowing criminals, terrorists, and drug runners to flood in, is intended to cause chaos and destruction. Even so, is what we are witnessing the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy regarding the increasing lawlessness? Indeed, what does the Bible say? To answer that question, first consider how the New World Translation uses the term “lawlessness.” You may be surprised that the Bible defines lawlessness as sin. 1 John 3:4 simply states: “Everyone who practices sin is also practicing lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”

Great and brave blog: Restorative Justice and Children Having Committed Severe Crimes by Heidi Jokinen https://lnkd.in/dXcAZfCw "Sometimes restorative justice is promoted as a cheap and affordable option to full scale criminal trials. It is dangerous to go this way. Even though serious crime committed by children, or by anyone, raises lively debates and strong opinions, it would be best to remain focused in the aftermath as well as in prevention of it. In particular when it comes to children, the primary question should not be formulated in terms of economic affordability. The prime focus should be in what works and what contributes the best to the child’s potential for re-integrating back to the society. Sometimes this is also the most affordable option."

Kulbardi acknowledges the anniversary of the final report following the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which was delivered on 15th April 1991. The report outlined fundamental changes necessary to stop the alarmingly high rates of First Nations deaths in custody. Its recommendations were about self-determination, ending over-policing of First Nations communities and reducing the number of First Nations people being taken into custody. Research by the Australian National University found that very few of the recommendations have been implemented and some current policy positions directly contradict the recommendations. Over 3 decades later we still do not have justice. #aboriginaldeathsincustody #justice #indigenousbusiness #givingback

The impact of bullies on community behaviour is a serious concern. Should we start considering bullies as a threat to community peace? It has been observed that insider groups in schools tend to follow the bullies as their leaders, resulting in non-involved students being impacted and leading to a high risk of disrupting the peace within the society. Violence is not the solution. We must first accept that schools are not perfect and when the school management takes sides or violates international laws, it is time to isolate these schools from reaching more students. Public sanctions and isolation must be used to bring attention to the crimes committed by bullies and to prevent nepotism in leading communities to get involved in criminal actions.

In "Worthless Checks? Clemency, Compassionate Release, and the Finality of Life Without Parole," Professor Daniel Pascoe of City University of Hong Kong explores the mechanisms through which prisoners can gain clemency. He examines whether “life without parole” really means “life without parole." Professor Pascoe finds that pardon, commutation, and compassionate release are too rare to be a check on excessive sentencing. He argues policy must change to address this: if life sentences remain common, then governments must broaden justifications for clemency. https://lnkd.in/dATtc5sW
