Answer 1

While I think I probably agree with you I can't understand what you are saying. I don't know if you can't speak English or if your spelling just sucks severely. I think you are trying to say crime=bad. If so I agree.

Answer 2

I've done a whole degree in Criminolgy and spent the entire three years coming up with an answer.... and I haven't found one yet!

The simple reason is that a combination of parenting lessons, more activities and innitiatives to keep people of the streets, better support for alcoholics and drug addicts, and more inter agencies (probation, police, local government, healthcare agencys) working together to resolve issues would have a positive impact, but at the end of the day you can't help or stop people if they don't want you to. It's free will.

Crime has always existed it is just through media coverage and the government releasing statistics that we are more aware of it being a problem.

When the Labour Government came into power they said they will be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. And they have stuck by that ideal, it wasn't so long ago people used to play football in the street and no one bat an eye lid, now it is considered as anti-social behaviour! the penalty? an acceptable behaviour contract, if this fails an anti-social behaviour order and if that fails prison - the university of crime! where bullying, assualt and drug abuse occurs and not much more can be done to punish these people!

Prisons are bursting at the seams and the question that needs to be asked is crime rising or is it a result of an aging population being less tolerant for things that would not have been classified as an offence 10 or more years ago?

Answer 3

Firstly, to the American Nationalist, I understood it, why did you not? I think harsher punishments, scrap the ASBO probably, after all It's apparantly seen as some sort of Rite of Passage nowadays by these kids, " woohoo i've got 15 ASBOs," I think Borstall should come back for young offenders and also conscription for everybody when they reach 18 although that would put me in line for joining up as I am 18 next month, countries where they do have national service generally have low crime rates such as Italy.

Answer 4

Yeh, which to choose? Constipation ot compulsory conscription? Both sound equally bad!
First & foremost, they are not "yobs" as our loving government enjoys labelling them. They are kids - children!!!!
They have grown up in a society that has the selfish acquisition of material wealth as it's number One Priority.
That's not the kid's fault.
They have more than likely already experienced being whacked & bullied, that's why they are now so aggressive...
& the only answer now is to re-educate them
so they can acquire new skills to help them establish a decent life for themselves.
Locking 'em up is NO good at all, & I am horrified by the number of ignorant twits out there who keep that attitude prevalent!
Whatcha gonna do? Imprison all the kids, cos they are all, in one way or the other, going off the rails... because they don't see anything respectable in society any more???
Where' have our hearts & brains gone to?
Give these KIDS the hope of an attainable future -
then watch them flourish.
That's what I believe in.

Answer 5

The correct use of an ASBO is actually very effective. Especially the dispersal order - but it needs enough Police staffing to enforce it. Unfortunately, it always comes down to one thing - there aren't enough Police Officers to enforce the law - they're always stuck with the paperwork that comes with crime and arresting people. I think ASBOs have their place, but if they are broken, then national service and hard labour should be brought back as punishment.

Answer 6

I think Tony Blair and his Cabinet should be made to live on a Sink Estate for a month, then they will know what it is like to be terrorised by yobs. As it is they live in their luxury homes in nice safe areas. I think that a month of living with yobs would soon make them change the laws, and get more police on the streets.Don't blame the police for the problems. They are undermanned and wrapped up in too much red tape.

Answer 7

The army need quality these days not quantity would you like to think of a drugged up half wit driving a tank.A good idea is an american one - have a curfew for persons under a certain age,if they are found out then take them home and warn parents,the second time take them home and report the parents for contributing to the delinquency of minor.I sure the parents would start taking responsibilty if they were given an incentive.

Answer 8

I know exactly where you're coming from mate, and I entirely agree with you.

All the excuses one hears these days, such as the broken home etc., do not impress me one little bit.

Let me make it quite plain - in my childhood, most of our dad's were off fighting the war [WW2]. I actually did not see my dad for the first time until I was nearly 6 years old. He was a complete stranger to me.

In effect, hundreds of thousands of families lived without dad until that is he came marching home, or had been killed in battle.

The other major major difference was that we had discipline and I do not mean simply being asked to write out two hundred times, "I am bad, very bad to very very bad", or whatever the schoolmaster or mistress required. I mean that if we did not obey a command, we got whacked for it.

Fear of whacking and disiplining children has lead to a yob culture. It's that simple. I'm not suggesting bringing back the cane in schools, but simply allow parents to chastise their own children at home as required.

Children need a regular routine and discipline. They should not have to live in fear of the school bullies or street gangs. Get the boys into the boxing ring and get the girls playing netball or whatever. Get our kids fit.
Keep the children busy and they will stay on the straight and narrow and grow up into good law abiding citizens. Teach the children to be good citizens.

Children must be tought from the start of their school days that education is what gets you out of the tip you are living in.

Onwards and upwards.

I was born in a 'slum' my parents worked hard, we made out. Unlike them I moved onwards and upwards. I know live in a nice detached house out here in the suburbs of SE London - a stone's throw from Kent.

Go For It!
