If you are strict and punish criminals, they will see to it that you are not elected next time. And once you lose power you are a m ere nobody in the state. That is the reason why crime flourishes in democratic countries. Nay, there are situations in which crime and politics are hand and glove with each other. In such a state riminals make you win elections and you protect them with your pol! IC power. ch a situation is unfortunate and common masses suffer in it a great deal. That is the reason why in many a country democracy has been replaced by dictatorship-whether military dictatorship or the dictatorship of the proletariat.
