QUOTE (AmieB @ Jun 18 2009, 10:47 AM) Another story of a young boy commiting a crime.
It says he was living at the YMCA. So i guess his homelife was not good. He is only 16 years old. What would possess a young boy to act like that. Do you think the parents are to blame here? A lot of time it is circumstances; parents, situation or maybe it is just in their nature. whatever the reason society must show strong discipline when it happens.

Naming, shaming and putting their picture into the public domain is a very good move that's been made in this case too.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jun 18 2009, 12:52 PM) I would like serious Jail terms for the serious offenders. I would also like to see some of the serial offenders for crimes such as shoplifiting, burglary etc be made to wear Orange Suits and be made to sweep the pavements and roads of Newbury. Community service where we can all see them for what they are. I am with you; we've got to show that crime doesn't pay. We must punish and humilate those that wish to step over the line.

TD&H, i love the idea of shaming these people in orange jump suits, but you know the goody goody PC brigade will argue its against their human rights!!!! I also went to Park House, and there were certain teachers there that helped me learn respect, right and wrong, but their tactics would not be allowed today. I am a better person for being tought these values and thank those teachers for everything they did. School should be about more than just learning from books.

QUOTE (AmieB @ Jun 18 2009, 01:05 PM) Schools have no control anymore, the teachers are powerless to do anything. Isn't it bad that so many of us on this forum and nearly everyone I talk to about how soft our justice system is and yet the Government won'recognise that there is a real problem that effects us all and continues to be lenient on crime. I don't get it!!!

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jun 18 2009, 11:22 AM) A lot of todays kids have never had any discipline. Thats why they don't understand right from wrong. Anything go's and normally their are no consequences. I blame all the do gooding pc liberal types. I remember teachers at Park House that would have put the fear of god into some of these 'gangster wannabes' that regulalry blight our lives. Unfortunately teachers of that ilk are no longer tolerated in our 'pc society'. Couldn't agree more. I had a lot of respect for my teachers, whose names oddly enough suited them. They were strict but fair. The sad thing is, there are more kids doing good than bad out there, it's just not headlinng news
