That has been trialled in the past Ryan. The trouble was they then ended up fitter and about as well trained and better organised than your average copper. Looking at the shapes of a lot of our 'Boys...

It's OK Scouser, I don't think anyone has noticed.

But that wouldn't be an insult, that would be talking you up. :D

I agree Savage1, you guys are way under resourced at the sharp end. I'm all for making it easier for those that do fall back into line, but also come down heavy on those that don't. One thing that...

I agree totally with the vast majority of that.

My only issues are minor:

Prison is not the only training ground. There is more training, particularly hands on practical, available outside of...

Worked pretty well for a couple of my cousins who lost their fathers at a young age and ran off the rails in their teens. But like the rest of us, some will respond well to one thing, others to...

A sample size of close to half? That means almost 1/2 of one opinion (I wont mention the old 'If you have half a mind to become a politician you are over qualified')! There are more on here that...

You now seem to have no grasp on the word some, and are completely ignoring the main point of my argument. Bloody one eyed Cantabrian ;)



There are a lot of sensational statistics in that...

With you there kotuku

Personal accountability. I someone does bad under the influence of drugs/alcohol then maybe a little leniency. Second time, 'Not on your Nellie!' If you have been there...

I've yet to see you show us some data that substantiates your claim, all I've done it propose another and more plausible means by which our prisons are full. There are is simply more people...

They are in their own self perpetuating world that we unfortunately must tread from time to time.

Actually most of the law jokes I've heard came from one of my law lecturers/tutors.

Q: What do...

Sidney,

I have not plucked any newspaper headlines. I don't tend to bother with news as most of it is ill researched, ill written sensationalism. I am very un-opinionated and if you have followed...

Your details are lacking and what you have put up do not support your argument. The only statistic that would indicate the 'sensibility' of terms would be the length of sentences of those behind bars...

If this requirement is not addressed then there are very major negative outcomes. At the moment it is skewed far too far towards the favour of the perpetrator with little regard to the victims. As...

However there is a growing wave of feeling that the laws interpretation is way out of step with every other parties expectation, ... including offenders. Sure they plea for as low a sentence as...

A bit like that story about the two wolves fighting.


It is a very complex issue with no single answer. Some will straighten up quick sharp, others will not. There is more to it than just leaving...

:D:D:D:thumbsup:

I love the softly, softly, gentle approach Dougie. I'm the same. I am there and within very quick reach.

When this social experiment was set up what criteria to measure success or failure was put in place? What threshold was put in place to say that it was a failure and end the experiment? At either end...

It was a rhetorical question.

However, in my view, justice is skewed more towards punishments biased towards the impact of the crimes. This takes into account to a greater extent the effects on...

Changes in reporting and definitions? I'm not sure. There was a social experiment, implemented many years ago, where more emphasis was placed on lighter sentencing and other measures in order to...

We are. With the current lack of action at the bottom end, and over use of the wet bus tickets, the crims are lulled into a sense that nothing much will really happen. If you look at countries where...

Actually I would say yes. However we run more of a legal system than a justice system here.

It even states that.




Thanks, that is clearer.

Most of that is an opinion, much like the military pattern pistol grip saga. It would more be a matter of interpretation of possession I would have thought. If the above could be applied then no...

Not quite. This has been studied many times and it has been shown that people often 'see' what they expect/want to see. That is why there is the suggestion we should all stop and think to ourselves,...
