SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1972 Judge Strikes A Blow At Violence In Public Violence in the form of people being beaten up in public areas, no matter how repugnant to law-abiding citizens, at times appears to be commonplace here as elsewhere and there is nothing that can infuriate the public more. Obviously this must be stamped out and the need couldn't have been better stated than by a judge sitting in Hamilton who had just sentenced a man to three years in prison for seriously injuring and robbing a person. Said Judge Joseph Sweet: "Everybody has a perfect right to walk down our streets . . . we've got to have our streets safe ..." The judge noted that the offender's rehabilitation had to be considered but he took into account another factor, which many suspect is sometimes ignored -- the public's right to protection. "There can be no question that society is entitled to protection . . . We are in a sorry state indeed if a man cannot walk peacefully along the street without fear of sudden, unprovoked, spontaneous attack. It must be made clear that such action is not to be tolerated." In its well-founded concern for the rights of criminals and in its attempts to rehabilitate them, the judicial process sometimes appears to lose sight of the rights of the criminal's victims and the welfare of society. The courts' awful responsibility presents them with a demanding and delicate task. On one hand, the court is obliged to play its full role as a major instrument of rehabilitation; to make the decision that could well decide whether a man will become a useful, contributing member of his community or a more serious menace to it. On the other, the court has to consider its equally onerous duty to protect the public. In effect, the court is every bit as responsible for the safety of a community as the political bodies which make the laws and the police who enforce them. When it establishes penalties, government declares how seriously the public regards specific crimes. Police enforce the laws accordingly, giving priority attention to those crimes considered most dangerous to society. If a court exercises great leniency in dealing with a crime deemed very serious in law, the court can break down a community's safeguards and give hoodlums tacit licence to commit outrage. The sentence p a s s e d by Judge Sweet, though not harsh under the circumstances, should help make city streets safe because the judge's action considered not only those who break the law but those who obey it.
