Britain is NOT soft on crime, as the tough response to last Summer's city riots proved to be the case. Every nation has it's own approach to crime based upon the individual history, culture and social nature of the country concerned- you can't have one single blanket system that is suitable for all the nations of the world, as they are all so different, and their peoples have different characters.
Britain measures it's history in thousands of years, as oppose to the USA, which measures it's history in Centuries- it's a case of 'different strokes for different folks'. We have no gun culture, no death penalty and far less racism than the USA has; that might seem a strange and alien concept to you, but we tailor our justice system according to the way our society is, as every other country in the entire world does (apart from those with totalitarian governments).

Quote does the punishment fit the crime?
In Britain, punishments certainly do not fit the crimes, many of our laws are outdated, and many sentences are too lenient. Petty crimes often incurr heavy sentences, whilst serious crimes incurr too light a sentence. The reason our prisons are overcrowded, is that there are not enough deterrents in place, and most people know, that our punishment laws are very much a "soft touch".
