Re: Lawless Society?
Oh there is so much I could say on this subject. Prison is no longer a punishment it is a rehabilitation, or so they would like us to believe. Who are they fooling?
Two young murderers have been given the very best of educational opportunities and a whole new life upon release. They ahae in effect been rewarded for their crime because they would not otherwise have had such opportunities.
Meanwhile the lives of those they have ruined (an I do not use that term loosely) spiral ever downwards. Victim support? Don't make me laugh. Criminal Injuries Compensation Board? I once said it should be renamed 'Injured Criminals Compensation Board' because it seems they are the ones who benefit. No longer can we say "crime doesn't pay" when we have evidence all around us that not only does it pay but it pays a damn site better than anything many honest citizens are ever likely to see.
No doubt there will be many who disagree with us but I think you have a valid point rockrabbit. In countries where there is a physical deterrant (ie something which is going to hurt) there tends to be less crime. The Isle of Man is a classic example
