Maddison Fitzsimmons classmate discussion response:
I do believe that genocide should involve the factor of intent. It is typical that criminals who have had a sense of intent for the crime that they committed receive a harsher sentence than those criminals who commit a crime for no reason or just for the hell of it. I also do not believe that there should be a broad definition to allow discretion. Discretion should occur in special circumstances when there are multiple crimes or other similar situations where genocide is not the only criminal act committed. Discretion is a powerful ability to give somebody, there is an opportunity to abuse it and manipulate it into one’s agenda or doing. In the event that there was a more broad definition, I believe it would allow people who did not necessarily commit what we define as a genocidal action to then be sentenced for genocide. This could cause a different type of sentencing disparity that we have not really seen. We are aware of the disparities that occur due to race or gender, but if we made the definition of genocide more broad we might see a disparity for those who do not deserve the sentence we have given them. It seems like a far stretch but the generalization of genocide could be a downfall. We have set guidelines for murder, first degree versus second degree versus felony murder, manslaughter, voluntary versus involuntary, so it would simply make sense if we implemented the same strict guidelines for genocide as well.
