Statute of Limited Justice

In effort to aid rape victims and victims of other sexual assaults, research what states have a standing statute of limitations on rape and other forms of sexually based crimes. North Carolina does not have a statute of limitations for any sexually based offense, which is excellent, but only seven other states do not have any time constraints barring sexually based offenses. It is time that the national government lifts the statute of limitations in all states. Citizens should write to senators, judges and any other public official that could lift these statutes from a state, and then nationally attempt to get the statutes lifted. Senators have a lot of say in the government and its procedures. If enough people recognize that the statute of limitations is only injuring the United States and its people, a

change will be made, but in order for that change to be made, a want for change must me summoned.

Another assistance to help the statute of limitations to be lifted in all states would be the forming of action groups like the Rainbow Group. Rainbow is a group formed by rape victims. Rainbow works to have the statute of limitations and other constraining or barring effects to be lifted. The group also is attempting to give rapists more prison-time. The Rainbow Group believes that the rapists do not pay enough penalties for the life-long turmoil they cause rape victims.

The statue of limitations should be nationally lifted to effectively provide justice for all in the United States. The limitations suggest that only in due time justice can be paid and that is not the message our forefathers and founders of the government aspired for. They yearned for freedom, equality and justice for all. And with a time constraint on certain crimes, many victims of crimes are left without justice and the criminals are not paying for their violations.
