Another factor to bear in mind is the influence directed at today's youngsters by violence shown on TV, in films and portrayed in computer games. I can remember 'X' and 'A' Film censorship, and the banning of so called Horror Comics because they were deemed to be a malign influence on kids. Today, even news bulletins are bombarding us with graphic violence - and the so called TV Watershed is a nonsense. Kids of 10 and 12-years are more enlightened today than my generation were at twice that age. I don't profess to know what the answer is any more than the politicians do, but based on the evidence available I would suggest reducing it rather than the alternative.
