We can save a TON of time, headaches and heartaches for the victims and money by presuming guilt on the accused and forcing the defendant to prove innocence rather than the other way around. This IMO is the most progressive way of handling the legal system. So yeah if you've been accused of something on campus, to protect the potential victim we should treat you as guilty and allow you to try and prove your innocence afterwards. |
As others have pointed out, this is the same as creating your own version of witch hunting. You can't just assume someone is guilty. If someone claims someone is guilty of something, it should be taken seriously, and there are processes in place to determine whether the person is innocent or guilty.
To claim someone is quilty without providing evidence and that claim being enough to incarcerate someone is not progressive. In fact, it is a giant step backwards. Just like the death sentences that happened to many people that ended up being innocent. These are not things that should be brought into the justice system.
