Any violent crime of any sort should be dealt with severely, but places are took up by petty criminals.

Personally I think punishment should be more harsh across the board, be that for petty crime or not.


“Petty Crime” I wonder which div thought that terminology up. It’s not a petty crime if you happen to be on the receiving end of having your pension nicked or your house ransacked. Scumbags, the lot of them. If more prison space is required the get the damned prisons built…hell put Tesco management in charge, there would be loads of prison space within months.
