I think society has already compensated way too much already, and at the expense of its own health and well-being. Society at large should be the victim, and definitely not the yahoos and criminals.

I was reading an article the other day, and a woman and her partner were walking on the seawall in the west end and they were harassed or something by someone and they said they see it all the time and they chose not to call the police because the person has too many problems and issues and deserves to just not get the police involved basically. So what can society do when so many don't want to do anything?
