Pleading guilty to a crime, lower than that which an offender commits is
another major problem. In most cases, it reduces the levity of
punishment and sentence becomes inproportionate to the actual crime
committed. Also among the problems associated with crime reporting, is
the dependency of skills on both the prosecuting counsel and defense
counsel, with convictions and acquaintances actually depending on the
professional skills of both counsels.
Another problem associated with
the procedure of reporting crimes is the inconsistencies involved in
information given out by the so-called witnesses, when crimes are being
investigated. The illiterate nature of most citizens about the legal and
criminal code of its society poses a greater threat. Some just give
information about a crime thinking that by doing so; they will be
popular, given money for coming forth with’ vital information’. With
this, they say or do anything to act as if they were present when the
crime occurred. This scenario drastically slows down the process of
justice.
