Editorial July-August 2012 Why no prosecutions? - Village Magazine

Editorial July-August 2012 Why no prosecutions? - Village Magazine: "Democracy depends on justice. Justice must be dispensed evenly.  This democracy is subverted by the flagrancy and impunity of white-collar crime – crime committed by the upper social classes, a type of crime that has ultimately ravaged this country. At every level the criminal system has been set up to ensure maintenance of the status quo, and certainly not to challenge the privileges of the wealthiest or most powerful in society.  There is some sign that progressive legislation is being introduced but the culture in the criminal justice system  and particularly among the prosecuting authorities has allowed white collar crime to fester and grow – from widespread tax evasion to deception on a gigantic scale causing the loss of billions."?
