If the offender does not show, the accuser must call a witness.

    Due to increase rates among minors, it is evident that the judicial system is not effective and needs more remediation. Looking at history, it seems as though the judicial system was harsher and had deep consequences, as well as short and long term effects, and due to this, society needs to revisit the previous policies and utilize these in current practice.

Despite the general themes of The Trial there are a series of key microcosm issues that come up in almost every chapter. These issue depending on the interpretation of these smaller issues could change the general analysis of the entire book. In my opinion. Nevertheless,…
