Eric, I understand that you tried to point out that the old ways do not work.....but that is because the old ways are not employed anymore.

What I was trying to point out was that the youths who are responsible for these crimes(sometimes in the homes of their victims....where you should be able to feel safe) do not respond to the lenient treatment either......and that it seems that the rights of the criminals outweigh those of the victims.
Criminals should lose their rights as soon as they commit an offence.
