What would be some of the drawbacks of having the victims of crime, rather than the state (through its public officials), prosecute criminals?

1. More Crimes

2.Emotional Trauma

3.Injustice/ corrosion of the Judicial system

4, Dampened Cultural Values

Explanation:

, The drawbacks will be

1. More Crimes: When criminals see that there criminal acts are not been prosecuted by the state, they will engage in more crimes. This will invariably lead to more loss of lives and property.

2. Emotional Trauma. Most times, after a criminal scene,a victim is left traumatize for days if not weeks because of the experience. When criminals are mot been prosecuted, we will have a,lot of emotionally drained/traumatize people in the society

3. Injustice: it is a sign of injustice. It will take a negative ripple effect on the judicial system of a state.

4, It dampens the cultural value of a people, This will greatly affect the cultural values our forebears have built and laboured for over the years. When we have no cultural values, it mean our kids have no standards. When there is no standard, they won't be able to stand for what is right.
