Is It About Time The Government, Police And Courts Started Addressing These Savages?

[youngmafbog]

More savages robbing pensioners, this time they killed the pensioner.

And before any wag mentions it, nothing to do with Police numbers, they can't be in every pensioners home.

We need tougher sentences, minimum jail 5 years for burglary (and no time off or halved). The Government need to build prisons and change the law to force proper sentencing, The Police need to push for a decent sentence and the Judiciary need to drop this wishy washy liberal approach that clearly does not work.

Maybe it wont deter (bet it will for some) but at least it removes the scum from the streets so they cant repeat the offence 50 times before someone take it slightly seriously.

you have to catch them first; that's where police numbers come in. Are they still investigating burglaries only in even-numbered houses?

Research tends to show it's not the length of the sentence but the certainty of getting one that deters. Burglars clearly know the chances of getting caught are minimal. And police know their main job is making out reports that victims can give their insurance companies.

I agree. It needs everything mentioned in the OP and also the extra police numbers, not one or the other.

ludwig, it is unlikely that a shortage of police officers will affect specialist departments like the CID who will be responsible for investigating this and other crimes.

The halving of sentences and time off for good behaviour both have their merits. I feel that if the sentences were increased then those who had their time halved would still have to serve more appropriate sentence.

‘We need tougher sentences, minimum jail 5 years for burglary‘

And 20 new prisons to accommodate said scrotes.

Bring back the sentence of 'hard labour'

"And 20 new prisons to accommodate said scrotes. "

And your point is?

If Police numbers are a problem lts get the ones searching for hate crime doing proper Police work first. I'm sure many didnt sign up to be doing that anyway and would love to do some proper coppering.

I do agree that the first priority would be reforming sentencing.

I'm tired of reading about sickeningly violent people being let out early from already inadequate prison sentences only to go and ruin (or end) more people's lives.

Some kind of 3 strikes and you're out policy for non-violent but misery causing scumbags wouldn't go amiss either.

Poor, poor lady. 20 years isn't enough imo.

what has happened to the thumb-screws and cocktail sticks under the nails ?

[youngmafbog]

In cases like this it should be a short length of rope PP.

Thumb screws are generally to extract information not as punishment.

How about attempting a serious reply for once pp? If you think current sentencing is adequate why not say so, and explain why, instead of this boring sarcasm.

Peter Pedant's frequent visits to AB aren't motivated by any serious intent - they're made for amusement only. Watch out for a cross-dressing version of PP from an earlier age (the one holding the fan) visiting an AB of its time:

Well, if it ain’t obvious, maybe you don’t have the intelligence to ask the Q in the fist place.
