we seem to have a big chat about this at work alot and the general out come is that we think that it should be brought back but not only military but police fire and nhs should benefit the only ways out of this should be staying on in full time education or joining the above voluntary .this would cut unemployment and give the kid a bit of live experience

That is one way of reducing the teenage crime level if the age of conscription is lowered to school leaving age, but the expense of such an operation would be too much for the chancellor to find, as we are taxed to the hilt now, on the other side it would mean that there would be enough bodies for the armed services to expend in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Totally agree i have never done national service or been in the forces, but definetly think it would of made me a better person with more respect. Would definitly help in the light of how the world is today and relive some of our full time forces who are in nothing posts and away from the front line to be closer to the action that they are trained and paid to do .

Yes..I think that everybody should have to spend two years in some type of government service when they turn 18. (If your'e still in high school, as most would be, then you can start the summer after you graduate.) Military service would count, but would not be the only option.

Oh Tracey dear, don't you think without a formal National Service, the American teenagers are already well-trained in the use of guns and promotion of gun culture? Sooner or later, we can talk in terms of how many teenagers are not involved in crimes or criminal acts!

Yes I would agree with that whole heartedly, it would also need to apply to those who are not teenagers too, as disaplin is the main cause of rise in crime of lack of it I should say lol, theres non at home in most cases and non in school now either we are far too soft on kids

that's an interesting idea. personally, i'd be a bit harsher....any child that breaks the law between the ages 12-17 ought to get automatically sent to some sort of military camp for 2 years. if the crime took place after turning 17, automatic military enrollment!

No I think they should bring it back as part of adult education when they stop creating wars and fights with other people.
They should educate parents on how to teach children about attitude, society and altruism to bring the crime rate down. Although it would not relieve it altogether.

Definitely it would break their little hearts,(THE TOUGH GUYS) shape em up and ship em out preferably to Iraq or Afghanistan and maybe the Russian front in the depths of winter for a change of scenery.I am sure all the little old ladies here in the UK would knit them balaclavas and gloves to keep their head and hands warm.
