Restitution in criminal code about laws

[liberty90]

I want to add that Rothbard suggested 2:1 compensation ratio, so opinions differs substantially; but most libertarian scholars agreed that compensations should go beyond 1:1 restitution. Which means: thief should pay me more than he actually stole.

[terrorist96]

They should pay back how much they stole, plus any appropriate punitive damages.

[Jean-LouisMesic]

The thief owes you no additional restitution than they offended you in property damage, property loss, property theft, and medical and funeral costs of you and any of your dependent persons or estates incurred during the acts. However, they should also owe an equal sum in either servitude and/or payment to the State, plus the costs of trial.

[terrorist96]

What about the cost of you being inconvenienced by having to pursue charges against them? You didn't ask to be stolen from, now you have to spend your time/energy seeking restitution.

[Jean-LouisMesic]

True.

I would generally go with Rothbard. Please keep in mind that Liberland doesn't exist in a vacuum and we will have to have criminal law somewhat similar to other states, especially our neighbours. We must be a good neighbours. But - our constitution will make it impossible to prosecute victimless crimes, and that is a big difference and an improvement. The new draft constitution is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RYgEHcb2oMgYJOa2MWUxe8E0aHRIgDpsiMG21MACIVg/edit#heading=h.yur44cl44s61

Please reopen the issue if you wish to discuss anything here, rather than in the constitution draft itself.
