Junkies nearly always make there family's life a misery, then when the money run's out turn to crime.

Re: Accrington is 8th
 

Whatever the underlying reason, most of these scumbags are already in the system for previous offenses. There's not enough resources for crime prevention, and slap-on-the-wrist sentencing makes the decision to offend an easy one.

There are not enough resources eh?
But recently a man was questioned by Humberside Police for a Non-Hate crime offence of retweeting a limerick about Transgender males not being biological women.
They had to use precious resources to track him down to his place of employment....they then questioned him for 34 minutes to check out his THINKING patterns....but this police force has not the resources to pursue villains.

The problem is not having a lack of resources, it is using resources in a crazy way.
If you want to read more of this sinister story here is a link.
Welcome to Orwells' 1984....where authorities can make you a criminal for your thoughts.
That is what really offends me...that we can be censured for what we think.

Yes that is crazy Margaret, policing (and policy) at its worst. Nobody (in there right mind) wants a Police state. Whats needed is more patrols, a focus on serious crime rather than income-generating petty fines, more jails, and the money to do it..

Re: Accrington is 8th
 

Yes and sentences that are a deterrent.
It is pointless for the police to catch criminals for the judiciary to let the off with a slap on the wrist...a suspended sentence or a community order.
These do nothing to satisfy the victims or to promote confidence.

There was once a guy in the army, his officer didn't like him and kept trying to get him on a charge. One time the officer was stood in front of him goading him, trying to get him to say something so he could get him in trouble.
The bloke said, 'excuse me sir, if I was to call you a clunt would you put me on a charge?
Yes replied the officer.
'And sir, if I was to think you were a clunt could you put me on a charge'?

Of course not, said the officer a man can't be charged for his thoughts.

'In that case sir, I THINK you are a clunt'!
