Actually, the US likes to play with look up tables of offence -
|
| 18 |
punishment. We call that "sentencing guidelines". Judges tend to hate
|
| 19 |
it and it doesn't work very well. The thought behind it is that judges
|

tend to be to lenient, so the legislature has to "help" them get it
|
| 21 |
right, but the result turns out to be more injustice.
