Brief Reflection. Sometimes the things that take a lot of one′s time seem quite small and irrelevant. I just read a few articles about the development in Darfur. It is simply horrible. Why is there a United Nations if things like this can go on? And the tragic killing of a girl in the Swedish countryside is a tragedy of a different scale - but a tragedy nonetheless. The first function of the state must be to protect people from violence. That principle must be taken far more seriously in criminal policy.
