Judicial reform

What are people's experiences with judicial reform? In theory I somewhat like the idea of a victim's fund but in reality I see some large holes in it's practical application. For game purposes is it worthwhile? Is it effective in controlling crime? Does it have any side or unexpected costs associated with it?

I've never tried it, but I heared that it increases petty crime and people tend to ignore security of their belongings. But crime can be controlled by tasks and keeping poverty in check. The police equipment task, the Organized crime (mafia) task, and the task which comes only after you implement administration reform, when you let the judiciary check the data if it's needed in a case.


The myth that the founding of American Republic was based on the philosophy of John Locke could only have been maintained, because the history of Leibniz's influence was suppressed.

Thank you for the response. I had the nagging feeling that there would be unintended consequences to this. I currently am away in California where they passed all kinds of laws such as "3 strikes" that had all kinds unforseen consequences and nearly bankrupted the state. What on the statewide level that commonly gets mistaken for "welfare" or " state bureaucrats" is actually the skyrocketing cost of the prison/police/industrial complex. No other state in the union imprisons more for petty crimes and imprisons for parole violations at four times the rate of the next highest state Texas.
I also can only wonder just how realistic it would be for a victim's fund. Could it be used to set up elaborate scams by the alleged victims? would it discourage responsibility and encourage the petty crimes? Most criminals are poor and certainly wont have trust funds to draw from so would the state be in effect subsidizing crime if the state compensated the victims? The more these questions pop up the more I am thinking this one may not be a good choice.
For my state I already have a low crime rate and I may just bypass this reform. I feel that it is better to hold back than just enact everything for the sake of doing so and risk something unforseen happening.

Your welcome Wink There is also a task about jails and sentences. There is an option that limits the jail time, but it's more tough, in order to create deterrence and cut costs.
