The law is set to keep order in our communities and on our streets, laws are in place for our safety. There are two types of laws; law on books and laws in action. Law in action refers to the laws and how they are interpreted and how they are implemented. Law on the books is the actual written statutes that are written in books. These are laws that are official rules and procedures. These laws state what should happen during a legal process. All laws are subject to change at some point or punishment for breaking these laws are subject to change. Throughout the years, many laws have been re-written in order to fit in with society or that current era in time. Many years ago, it was not against the law to commit murder of your newborn baby, but it began to happen so much that laws were created to prevent it. The laws were changed a couple times regarding this matter, until they finally found the appropriate punishment. When a law is broken the court decides the best course of action to take. Five people may commit the very same crime yet the judge may not punish each person the same as another.
Objectivity of law is when a person tries being objective, looking at the laws and trying to make decisions that are right. Not everyone can be punished the same just because they committed the same crime. Three people may have committed murder, one may have done it in cold blood for no other reason than because they did not like the person, another may have murdered someone because of a mental illness and in all actuality would not have done it if it had not been for that disability, the last person may have committed murder out of self defense. Judges, prosecutors or any other law official would have to look at each case objectively and decide what course of action should be taken on each case. Although we may try to be as objective as we can, we will not always be as objective as we need to be.
Laws are constantly changing because society is constantly changing....
