Thread: Wtf

I believe there are not there aren't enough consequences for the youths, the current system with Family Group Conferences work for 80% of the youth offenders but the recidivist offenders just laugh at the whole process and continue to offend, then get taken by CYFs but then run away and continue to offend. A lot of these kids don't come from broken homes either, it's not always the parents doing.

I'd like to see some kind of reparation law bought in where any person who causes damages must pay for them at a minimum. Eg, I know a guy that burnt out a $50k vehicle and only got 100hrs of community service! I think they should be paying the full amount whether it's insured or not. Another that I see all the time is people causing thousands of dollars in damage ripping copper piping and cylinders out of houses for a couple of hundred in scrap, do you think they're made responsible for all the damage they've done? Nope, it comes back on the owner or insurance company if they have one. I could go on and on and on with examples of damage done yet they're not held accountable for it.

A lot of the criminal youth and adults you cannot reason with, no amount of our new age punishments will turn them.

I think another good start would be making our prisons a lot less comfortable and make them more like a military prison to discourage people from going back.

A culture change is what is needed, we will never be like the Scandinavian countries. Most of the people I deal with don't want to work and have a sense of entitlement from the government and absolutely no care or respect for anybody else, they also have a below average IQ. How to change this? I don't know. It pisses me off going into their houses and they have big TVs and Sky TV, which most of them do, especially because I can't afford it.

I'm no expert in the matter but I don't believe that giving out longer sentences will do anything, but maybe changing the content of the sentence will. An end to the Police budget freeze would be a bloody good start to.
