[QUOTE="Sheikh Yerbouti, post: 703299, member: 9093"] Trouble is it's been well publicised that prisons in this country are bursting at the seams, and equally well publicised that the government won't build any more. What sort of message does that send to the little bastards who are fancying having a go at some poor victim? I know the bleeding hearts will say banging people up isn't the answer, and they're right, but it's the only proper punishment measure we've got. There's only one way to sort out violent crime that's as deep rooted in society as it is in ours these days. Zero tolerance. It worked in New York and it can work here. But at the end of the day everything comes down to money, and the government will never commit the (admittedly massive) funding it would require. Put simply, there aren't enough votes to be won to justify it. They can just do what they do with the health service, public transport and education... That is to say run them into the ground, while making token gestures at funding based on performance and pleading poverty and tax increases every five minutes. It's all about PR where politicians are concerned unfortunately. Funny how at the drop of a hat the treasury can commit 50 billion of taxpayers money to bail out Northern Rock though innit... /RANT EDIT to add... good point Monty... the parents have to take a big part of the blame unfortunately.
