The Good Samaritan

Many of us are aware of the story of the good Samaritan. In my own terms as an imaginary criminal justice lawyer, the good Samaritan aided, clothed, and took care of someone who was in danger of losing his life. Since our topic points out to the importance of criminal justice, let us examine some cases wherein the story of the good Samaritan is no longer applicable in some areas. I had come across with an article online a few years back about a woman who shouted for help because she was attacked by a malefactor. In the nearby places, people knew what was happening, but no one rescued to help the woman. Some people who heard the commotion were too tired to help the woman. Others were too afraid to call the police authorities. They simply want to free themselves from further questioning during investigation. some of them live near the house of the woman victim, but they choose to just listen with the fleeting voice of a woman asking for help and later is about to die. The malefactor succeeded in accomplishing his criminal acts. Someone then died of murder with robbery in the neighborhood.

Knowing this problem, criminal justice lawyers tend to present the fact that some people do not want to get involved with any criminal cases even if they witnessed any crime. Well, people had to exercise their free agency. They choose to allow the crime to be accomplished instead of helping the victim survive. Criminal justice is a broad issue, yes, but being faithful to the fact that human life is more important than anything meant peace. In some cases, individuals may think that what happened to those victims might happen to them, we just do not know. Being in their shoes, how would you feel when no one would help you save your life? The danger of not caring for others is a vicious cycle. Let us always be a good Samaritan when the necessity arises no matter what.
