Crime of Passion

1/28/2013

 
Picture
Sometimes we hear about someone committing a "crime of passion" whereas they act outside the law and take revenge or act outlandish due to strong, overwhelming emotions. Maybe it's a jealous husband going after his wife's lover, or a jilted father attacking his son's killer because he feels justice wasn't done.

Explain whether someone should be held responsible for acting out when their emotions get the best of them.

“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Should one’s punishment be equal to one’s crime?
