These horrendous stats are only interpretable in one way, of course.
That is unless you go to the lunatics of the Howard League For Penal Reform who - in all seriousness can declare that "this suggests an excessive and disproportionate use of arrest for children." Unbelievable - and then they go on to blame the police whose hands are so tied that they shun arresting yobs unless absolutely forced.
To the HLFPR I hereby award a LoonyTunesWatch coconut!
