Re: I know let's scrap Asbos
With the current “Criminal Age Of Responsibility” set at 10 years, raising it to 18 or even 14 is just plain daft. But then since when did academics live in the real world? It makes you wonder how some people get into a university.
Once someone of any age has been found guilty of a crime they should be named and shamed unless an appeal has been launched. Then the naming and shaming should be held back until the outcome of the appeal.
I would add to that the parents of any convicted criminal under the age of 18 should also be named and shamed.
