Hard labour would be a better option to community service, but that won't be allowed.

very true carol, they were warned as far back as ten years ago. bryan.

An EYE FOR AN EYE would be even better ........ Death Row perhaps erm the list is endless >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sorry but i was brought up like so many others to respect my elders, my neighbours, the man that owns the corner shop, the police force etc ............. need i go on until Discipline is returned then this country will continue it's journey to the dogs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would suspect it'll be petty crimes , although what is a petty crime? I'd like to see more community services myself - not sure tagging works or ASBO's - not that i have first hand experience of any of it mind LOL

Sorry Roxanne but the tagging and community service malarky is a joke and believe me I know My step son is a bad one and we no longer speak to him But if he couldn't be bothered to turn up for community service he didn't bother and neither did they bother ...... they eventually after about 10 sessions took it back to court and he was fined and served with more that he didn't do either and so it went on ........ until the judge gave him a prison sentence of 3 months of which he served one and a half months and as for the tagging ..... well what a joke that is ............ that only comes into force if they are not where they are suppose to be at night time between 7pm and 7am .......... during 7am and 7pm if they want to commit a crime they can!!!!!!!!!!!! Ludicrous doesn't come into it Sorry TJ xxxxxxxx

hi roxanne xxx. agree it depends on the crime, it's ridiculous sending a pensioner to prison, for not paying council tax etc. carol, perhaps the inn is full, so build another one :o) t.j. yes, we are too soft, wheres the deterrant. bryan.

Hi T.J,You know from expèrience,I cant argue with that. I dont know what the answer would be,but prisons are near to bursting,do we build more prisons?

Instead of ASBOs and tagging why not put the yobs in stocks in the centre of towns and villages. Don't even have to throw rotton veg at them just make them a laughing stock. T.O.R. ;o))

I Agree Carol,there just isent the room,I think its far better that people who are a danger be locked up than say someone who has avoided tax or some other lesser offence. their still criminals and they still need to pay society back,I just hope they get it right:-((

Hi Bryan:-)) Nice to see you. I think it depends on the crime, but I do think there should be more community service and tagging.

Hi Bryan Alas we are the laughing stock of all civilised countries yet agian xxxxHowie

Sorry Carol removed mine as decided Bryan probably wanted a serious debate. T.O.R.

Am I heck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..............that american chappie was right ..... we are too soft in this flipping country!!!!!!!

that is what judges are being told by the government, due to overcrowding in prisons... are you happy about this?.... bryan.
