NO LAW CAN BE GOOD LAW IF IT IS UNABLE TO BE ENFORCED


 
NO LAW CAN BE GOOD LAW IF IT IS UNABLE TO BE ENFORCED 

The current state of crime control in our country is not the sole fault of the country's law enforcement agencies. In addition to law enforcement, the responsibility lies with policy makers of the country and the judiciary also.What is lacking in Pakistan is the ability of its criminal justice apparatus to deal with crime.When crimes of a dehumanizing nature are committed repeatedly, and no law enforcement officer or agency is held responsible and accountable for the recurrence of the crime, it exposes the fallacy in the argument that laws in our country are good and the problem lies with enforcement. If a law enforcement officer does not fear accountability and hence fails or, as it often happens, refuses to intervene to prevent crime, the finger points to the state, which allows a culture of irresponsibility among law enforcement officers.
Fault lies with the judiciary as well. When courts take a decade to decide cases and judges are insensitive to the concerns of average litigants that approach them, the first casualty is the concept of justice.  In our country, the average citizen has no faith in the criminal justice system, and would prefer not to touch or be touched by it. Those who can afford to do so employ private security infrastructure. Despite the realities, it is pertinent to serve a reminder: it is the responsibility of the state to ensure that every person in the country enjoys equal protection to his or her life and property.
