Courts

• One reason why courts are effective is because criminals get punished. Courts have the power of sending offenders to prison for the crimes they have committed and the extent of their time in prison will depend on the extremity of the crime. For example, Kevin Guthrie was jailed after sexually assaulting a woman in Glasgow.
• Another reason why courts are effective is because they keep the public safe. The courts send dangerous people to prison keeping them away from society. For example, the courts locked up Aaron Campbell to keep the public from being his next victim.
