evanrachelwood 😥Must their name be called Ministry of Justice? ‘Ministry’ suggests a sort of holy office. Govm’t is quite the contrary. The only true ministry is God’s Word & True Justice takes place in The Courts of Heaven. One of God’s names is Elohay Mishpat, God Of Justice~Isaiah 30:18..1

Given the uncaring attitude of government with all the cuts, we now seem to have an uncaring justice system that cares little for the abused..

Should the police and CPS have different standards of evidence or justification for prosecution of rape allegations vs other serious crimes?
