I live in Norway, though not Norwegian. From what I can tell it already generates a lot of debate. The sentencing seems to generate debate when someone does any sort of heinous crime. At the same time, folks seem rather proud of the system itself.

And I think folks should be. I'm American, the land of petty imprisonments and punishments lasting long after prison time is served. The system here seems to produce much better outcomes for both the people imprisoned and the community around them.

The least proud people will probably be the families of victims- and they matter the most.

I agree there is a balance to be struck, the American system seems to be the other extreme.

Why do the families of victims matter the most? Does not every person matter equally?

Did you hear about vendeta?

I'm sure the families of the victims would vastly prefer not to be in this situation in the first place, over getting some petty revenge. That's why the priority must be to bring down the overall number of vitims.
