Are the laws enough?

 With the violent crimes that have been occurring all around our country as of late in areas such as in Washington and Chicago, it's easy to question whether or not our current laws are able to do enough to fight back for justice. When looking at it, I choose to look in terms of what has been done in similar situations in the past. These crimes have been the result of violent gang activities and psychotic rampages, both of which have been driving forces before in tragedies. So I don't think the question should always be what can we change? It should rather be can it be changed?

  I'm proposing this question because I feel that the laws that we have in place in Americas criminal justice system work perfectly fine. While some may not find them as effective as they could be, given the situation of trying to control such uncontrolled situations like these, you would end up creating a more controlled and constrictive society which many citizens would say violates there civil liberties. I'd say in conclusion, we shouldn't look at reforming criminal justice laws, but rather the laws that could help prevent these actions, urban reforms in ties and better attention given to people who clearly are unstable to name some suggestions. In the end, our justice system can only do so much and we can't always look at theorem to stop these actions or fight them.
