A solicitor once told me that youths will not be seriouly penalised for anything under the current system. Too many learn the craft of misbehaviour and then stroll into crime because they don't have to think of the consequences. I don't blame the parents. I think in most cases they get it hard enough without help. It is a general break down of discipline in society that has caused many adults to fear their own children.
UKIP head office had this to say about recent youth news that a one-boy crime wave was allowed to keep the bike he used for crime because taking it from him would be against his human rights.
“This is story is absolutely shocking.It seems that we can’t now punish criminals, because it ‘inconveniences them’. What about all the inconvenience he has caused to the victims of his crimes? These kind of cases show why more and more people agree with UKIP’s policy of abolishing the human rights act.”
