Justice

She says there was very little delay in issuing her claim in December 2004, after learning of Hoare's win and realising it was "worthwhile" suing him.

How can it be 'moral' to sue someone years after the facts, simply because it's become worthwile? Have we forgotten that there must be justice for victims as well as perpetrators? Otherwise, we should just impose mandatory life or even death sentences. I obviously do not advocate this, since I believe in rehabilitation and reintegration. Isn't that what society has come to believe over recent decades? If so, there has to be a point when a criminal is judged to have paid his debt to society and can be reintegratted within society.Of course, it is clear that even after 'paying their debts', former prisonners aren't really reintegrated since nothing in prison or outside is done to help their rehabilitation.
