Crime The Illinois legislature recently passed a bill to change all uses of the term “offender” in the Illinois criminal code to the term “justice-impacted individual.” Criminals no longer commit crime in Illinois.
This is a rhetorical question but I cannot help it coming to mind and wanting to come out - WHY would any governing body or person think changing the word “offender” to “justice impacted individual” is a good idea???? Are they going to correspondingly change the word “victim” to “criminally violated individual?” If not, then this is a serious problem of having no “reasonable persons” to decide about sushi or anything of importance.
