How can we restructure criminal sentencing effectively?I have often thought that crimes should be sentenced based on the social status of the victim. For example, I am of superior class, so If I were murdered then the perpetrator should receive the maximum sentence. If a commoner from the gutter classes is murdered, the sentence could be less, as they are less worthy in society.If someone robbed me, then as I am wealthier and of better breeding than a worker, the robber will have stolen items of more value than if he had robbed someone with a 'job'. Therefore, his sentence should be greater.Am I right to believe that my superiority to commoners presupposes a greater significance of my victim-hood in crime?
