Crime in the UK, what's the answer?
Well after the debate on the death penalty i thought I'd like to find out views on crime in the uk and what can be done. We have all sorts of crimes from burglary to knife crime. Whereas a deterrent would be of no good for murderers i do believe it would be for other crimes. Once people got the idea in their head that crime doesn't pay we may get somewhere. Prisons are over crowded and too soft. We have people committing crimes so they can go back to prison. I'm sure there is a directive for all judges to keep people out of prison judging by some of the sentences dished out. Rather than build more prisons why can't we make things a lot tougher(forget about their rights), more people to a cell, less privileges and longer sentences. Make it so they don't want to go back. Of course every case is different and we have people on drugs committing crimes. Let's throw in ID cards into the melting pot, we always have a good debate on that.
Should we bring back military service, I believe there is a case for that and teach the youngsters respect and get them learning how to look after themselves?
Stop and search, less limitations on what the police can do, let them search who they want for knives. The word would soon get around.
Let's have some ideas.
Anyway the blue touchpaper is lit and I'm standing well back.:heh:
