what do you think of Anti social behaviour?

Question

i think teens should be put on tag till the age of 25, if they break the agreement with the law

Answer 1

Curfews are the only way to enforce and reduce anti-social behaviour in teens. Stop them gathering in the streets and being out after 9 o'clock.

The majority of the offending teens parents are happy to kick them out all night and don't give a toss what they do, make them more responsible for their children. Increase the penalties and reduce the offenders benefits.

As for tags they are monitored by companies like Reliance who are aware of abuses of tag conditions yet do nothing as if they reported every single breach it would prove tags don't work and cost them money.

Answer 2

Tags don't work - a high percentage of those tagged break the rules with no repercussions. Anti-social behaviour certainly needs addressing but I don't believe that increased tagging would make a difference. There need to be tougher laws in place, more police out and about in the community, greater protection laws for those that need to give evidence.......the list goes on as does the issue of anti-social behaviour. A radical change is needed but the real question is, what and how?

Answer 3

its a move towards controlling people rather than the state coming up with more creative ways of tackling the problem, I think it is a problem tho......I am doing a degree in sociology and you hear all kinds of stuff that skips common sense and tries to ideologically look good rather than look at the evidence......some kids are very unruly but the way we view them is very disproportionate to the way we view other crimes, partly because they are on the street and this is offensive to many people because its a public place.
Also there are values that come with each social class that either advantage ppl or disadvantage ppl, and it is up to the individual to break those conventions should they wish to move up the social scale. Especially as the job market has changed beyond recognition since the 1970s with a job for life being not the case and many jobs that had run in families being shut down. Its not that easy for the working classes that had existed to continue as they had and there is far more risk and uncertainty involved. Even middle class kids with degrees cant guarantee that their degrees will get them a stable job anymore in Britain and it depends much more on ones skills and CV. Its pretty easy to see how a mere adherance to class or underclass values has caused some ppl to be unable to interact with the rest of society and the jobs market. All that they have to do is break their own upbringing which is not easy but I think achievable if the causes of certain behaviors that are not desireable are (psychologically) looked into.....I think all people are the same and that violence as a behaviour can be avoided if the wrong pressures are removed from someone.
I think there are many causes of the underclasses inability to interact with the rest of society and it probably has something to do with their difference to middle class values and the quality of their experiences of life right up until they are 18, 21 or beyond.
So I think society could make more of an effort to acknowlege this as the masses will not respond well to every change as if they were all equal when in a capitalist system not everyone is equal and there will always be some at the bottom. Think I have gone on enough now....as for tagging it might work but there might be better ways of dealing with this. There have always been people who commit crimes, but these days people dont live in as much poverty but relatively they do and have vastly different work experiences and expectations from life, and that must have an effect. Pressures today are different. What is the cause, what is the cure?

Answer 4

Well my kids are 23 and not teens any more but when they were a few short years ago, they had great behavior and so did their friends. Our house was the open house and all the parties were at my house. No drinking, no drugs, no smoking and no sex. And they still managed to have a great deal of fun. They are all getting married now and we had no unexpected pregnancies when they were teens, we have a few smokers, and a few drinkers but since my daughters set the standards for their group and those were our rules, they all really turned out to be wonderful young adults. I've known this group of about 15 kids since elementary school and feel really good about all of them.

Generalizing and stereotyping anyone is a very bad idea. Things in life are not black and white and frankly I see far worse behavior in adults than I do kids. Kids are simply a product of their upbringing, and if you don't expect better from them, you don't get it.

Answer 5

Anti-social habit like utilising the royal crest as one's avatar while one is a wog centred visitor to a rustic -- is that anti-social sufficient for you. What new outrage is next? The shares could be used for agitprop opinion engineers who masquarade as something they don't seem to be. All fake-flaggers are pirates one way or yet another good -- The Patriot -- ha! Your patriotism runs to the hot Caliphate, so why not positioned up the sickle moon and celebrity image extremely of fake flagging with the Windsor family individuals crest. We already understand who you're, so merely be your self, and supply up attempting to con human beings. ok?

Answer 6

I dunno...I was always a good kid..never really got into much trouble or anything..pretty boring..and I think most kids are like that....so can you really punish everyone for what a few are doing? I don't know ---maybe that's what the law is all about.

Answer 7

looking at this question you asked and the one of mine you answered you seem to dislike kids well to be honest i dont really like you very much. not all kids are bad u know i agree there is alot that need a good kick up the backside but there not all bad why punish all kids for a few troubled ones

Answer 8

I hate it, kids should be brought up to respect and abide by the law. I was and i am grateful to my parents for that. Little juvenile delinquents are just a waste of space.Send then all to Iraq

Answer 9

Bring back the stocks, only instead of throwing rotten food at them, make it cricket balls. That might JUST knock some sense into their thick skulls.

Answer 10

A lot of people who are seen as anti social don't really mean to be. They just have fear or are shy.
