If you can't recognise that justice goes far beyond the fraction of cases you actually read about in the media, I don't see how you could claim not to be influenced by it.

Indeed it begs the question are all serious cases given silly punishments or is it just the ones we are told about in the media.
But hpwever due to that being the truth or media hype it has led to a lot of people thinking all they will get is a slap on the wrist for mugging someone or worse. People are not afraid of our justice anymore so are more inclined to commit crime.
