The Violent Crime (VC) Sector
​Competitive Governance within every geographic jurisdiction

•The reader should have a good understanding of the full CRA Structure.  All CRA bullet points apply to these five Sectors.  The full CRA Structure is 30 Sectors.

•The reader should have a good understanding of the Rating System.  Every bullet point could have the statement that the Rating Agencies (RA’s) will give high-quality information from a wide variety of perspectives on that issue. 
​
•Keep in mind that everyone in a position with official elected representative authority will entirely focus on just their Sector, roughly 3% of the current politician’s focus.

•The Violent Crime (VC) Sector Board representatives will define violent crime laws and the punishments for violations of those laws.

•The executive branch of the victim’s Sector 11 CRA must supply the prosecutor.  The judicial branch of the victim’s Sector 11 CRA must hold the criminal trial for violent crime.

•A defendant’s Judicial Authority CRA must supply a lawyer to the defendant in violent crime cases.

•A violent crime infringes on an individual’s fundamental right to be secure in their person; thus, the VC Sector Board legislative branch is not subject to the 70% supermajority vote; laws are set with a 50% Sector Board representative vote.
​
•The VCs jurisdiction will include physical attacks, physical threats, and certain thefts.

•The VC Sector has Original-Authority at the Sector Board level only in the legislative branch relating to defining violent crime and the range of punishment.

•A VC representative’s full-time job is to investigate as many violent crimes as possible, laser-focused on the best violent crime laws and most effective punishments. 

•VCs do not investigate as cops, but they investigate how the police investigated, how it went through the courts, the corrections stage, recidivism rates, and the wisdom and morality of the laws. 

•The VC Rating System sets a Rating Floor on the crime rate within each subcategory.  If the Crime rate is above the Rating Floor, laws must be strengthened, punishments increased, and many Sectors’ funding must increase.  For the same reason, Rating Floors are raised with a 50% vote.

•The VC Rating System must set Rating Floors per narrowly drawn violent crime rate category.

•The VC Sector Board must strengthen the laws and increase the punishment range if a Rating Floor is exceeded.   
​
•The VC Sector Board must set a bar regarding the severity of the crime and the standard of evidence for death penalty cases.  If the prosecutor declares the proof meets the death penalty standard, the trial must begin 30 days after that declaration, and the trial must go to verdict 30 days after the trial starts.  If the court convicts on death penalty grounds, all appellate courts have 30 days to rule.  If the conviction stands, the execution must occur 40 days after the conviction date.
