@PhilosophyExp How would you determine the severity of a crime? Why is murder more severe than robbery for example?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@PhilosophyExp You may have a point. Clarification would have been nice though. If not experience of victim, then what?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@Avril_Ladybird Well, it can't just be the experience of the immediate victim (suppose you murder someone in their sleep)?
