offenders do not consciously realize the
consequences of their actions, which give us a
valid reason to suggest that the standard
prosecution procedures might not be applicable to
them. There are numero...

consequences are overcrowding in prisons and less
prison based rehabilitation. Mandatory sentencing

the death penalty (capital punishment). The
authorities punished most offenders in public in
