Thank you for the excellent presentation. Here is a recent example from China. As part of a major crackdown on crime, the power of issuing final verdicts on capital punishment was handed down from the Supreme People’s Court to the provincial courts in 1983. The number of criminal cases dropped 31 percent in the 8 months immediately following the change. However, in recent years, there have been a series of reports on errors in death sentence cases, and criticisms around “insufficient supervision† of death sentences. Two weeks ago, China’s top legislature decided, effective January 1, 2007, to give the power back to the Supreme People’s Court.

I dont really see the fraud either. But i do think that some laws are passed
for the simple reason of pleasing voters. the Adam walsh act makes no sense if it
only stiffin penalities to those small groups. i also dont understand just now
making burning down a church illegal, as far as i know that has always been bad.

Politicians are just trying to make a name for themselves. In order for a politician to be effective in his job he has to have influence. They need to have publicity to be influential. The best way for a politician to grab headlines is to tack his name on a bill that addresses a heinous crime. The bill will be strongly supported, that senator or representative then appears to be effective in his job (which is to get laws passed). The fact that the law is really hollow or redundant makes no difference. He will appear to be able to get things done. His constituents back home won’t know that the bill is really meaningless. All they will remember is that he was “that guy that got child molesters a 30 year sentence†. It’s all a game of show business.
