Let victims
of crime track case online, says thinktank
News
A thinktank
in London says that people in England and Wales should be allowed to follow
their crime online. The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) is creating
a program that will let victims know what going on, it is said that not knowing what was happening in a
case caused frustration for victims and made them lose confidence in the
justice system. The program should involve details on the progress of cases –
including arrests, investigations, judgments and transcripts. The report
concludes: "The effectiveness of the criminal justice system depends
crucially on the public's confidence in it.
I am torn
about this, on the one hand I think it is a great idea and victims would
probably really benefit from it. But on the other hand wouldn’t victims drive
themselves insane by keep looking at the site and wanting to know what is going
on. Maybe it is better to know something but what if you get obsessed with it.
The police could put a limit on the few or send a text when new information is
presented, I think that would be better else people might go insane.
