When I was at university, I took quite a number of public administration courses and the ONE TRUTH about public works, public agencies, and public goods is that all you have to do is look at where the $$$$$$ go and for what and you will SEE what the real PRIORITIES are of that service.
Just another case of “follow the money.”
I’m very weary of any change to courts that is explicitly “to drive up convictions”. Not to get better justice or fairer sentences or faster outcomes, just more convictions. Courts shouldn’t be designed to reach some arbitrary conviction rate.
Rape is intrinsically hard to prove, that doesn’t mean we should start requiring less evidence.
