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

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 |

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. |
