Octavius in answer to some of your questions, in America, successful boot camps are already in progress albeit private ones however, the money that is spent on police time, asbos, staff to monitor this etc. could be spent elsewhere in putting these places in situ. Who's to say that a "branch" of the military service could not be set aside and yes there would be cost. What price do you put on someone's life? As taxpayers aren't we entitled to some sort of protection from these young murderers? There doesn't have to be hundreds of them all over the place but one to start off with and results monitored. Someone has to be responsible for the dregs, why not the military?
Parents will not be responsible because they are not responsible themselves. I also happen to believe that the low lifes that do go into the army and better themselves is as a direct result of the rules and boundaries that they know cannot be pushed in the army and that is precisely what this would be, to turn them around, not just punishment. I firmly believe that this is worth a try. I don't necessarily think that miffy wanted them then to go on to serve in the army.
