IELTS.WRITING PART 2. JURY In a present time in some countries , such as Australia and Great Britain, where now there are actual laws which forbid a jury in a criminal case to have an access to information about the defendant's past criminal records, some lawyers have suggested what this practice should be changed. Possible for and against will be discussed in this essay. From the one point of view, the presented suggestion of changing current practice has a significant advantage which is connected with the fact the more detailed information jury has about the person who have commited a crime the more informed decision they take. Perhaps, the crime was commited through negligence and the defendant did nothing wrong before. But from the other point of view, the proposed innovation does not seem so perfect at all because the jury should consider the certain case and should verdict, which is based on the harm this crime have brought to society or a person against which this crime was made. In other words, every defendant should be responsible for a crime he did, without taking in account his brillian reputation and absense of recorded pevious crimes. In a conclusion it is necessary to mention what my position in this question is close to proposed innovation, because in a case when defendants make several crimes in a row, it means that they have not realized their fault and have not been corrected. Hence they are potentially dangerous for society and they deserve a more strict punishment
