Should repeat offenders be entitled to free legal aid?

Yes for minor punishements

This is unclear as to what the crimes have been

No but only for major offences

It depends on their financial circumstances

Depends on severity of the crime

depending on crime commited

I don’t know enough about this

Free for three times then assessed

Would depend on the crime committed

It depends on the crime they committed.

Dependent on the offence

yes and no, free legal aid should depend on the type of crime

i believe criminals should have the help they need to better themselves but only if they show effort within the first six months

Yes with the condition that after 5 offences they must demonstrate active efforts they have made to rehabilitate. Rehabilitation programs should be invested in by the state.

Just because

Yes if they only did crimes like burglary or car theft. Or manslaughter but that can depend. No if it is for serious crimes like hate crimes, rape, murder, attempted murder. Even if it was a single time, no.

This should depend on the crime you did.

depending on the crime, rapists and murders deserve no help but drug users and shop lifters etc deserve remorce

Sex offenders should not receive free legal aid. It depends on the situation involving other crimes

Depends on the crimes

Yes, but diminishing aid contributions for those with very high conviction counts (>20).

Depending on their previous offences

Yes, but only for bigger felonies.

it should depend on the age and circumstances of crime

Yes but after a certain amount of crimes they have to pay a certain percentage of the cost

Depending on the severity of the crimes

For non violent crimes then yes repeat offenders be entitled to free legal aid

Yes innocent till proven guilty

If they are an addict and it is for personal use

Assessment of their ability to reform and the addressing of reasons for their criminality should be assessed.

Repeat offenders should not exist. If they commit a crime while on bail or suspended sentence they should be locked up. Free legal aid should be withdrawn after second offence. This is a gravy train for legal representatives who are openly playing the system.

Yes, but intensive inpatient mental health treatment with social service support should be compulsory after the second crime. Sentencing should increase with each repeat offence and with a third crime,
conscription should be offered as an alternative to prison.

Deny after 2 crimes

I think they should be given support programs to try prevent further crime. A way out of what they were born into.

Not for repeat offenders of rape & murder

It would depend on the severity of the crime

Depends how bad the crime is. Deny after 5 crimes.

Depends how bad the crime is.

I think everyone should be entitled to free legal aid not just repeat offenders

Since, sometimes the law can discriminate unfairly against minorities, it is a technical issue waiting for law to catch up with fairness.

It is a case by case situation. If a repeat offender continues to reoffend and appear before the courts, they may be in need of another intervention

It depends on what the severity of the crimes and each of their circumstances. Probably should be decided by a judge.

Everyone should be entitled to free legal aid regardless of offender status

If the charges are bad then no aid.

Yes, but deny if the crime is serious (Rape, murder, Kidnapping, etc)

depends on severity of crime

depends on the crime that has been committed

Depends on what crime they have done and how bad it is

Discern according to the type of crime, if its violent or theft then limit the amount of times for example
