More than 1,000 children jailed for breaching Asbos.
An increasing number of children are being criminalised by the justice system, it was claimed yesterday, as new figures showed that more than 1,000 youngsters have been jailed for an average of six months each for breaching anti-social behaviour orders.
Blogger: this disturbing piece shows why the leftist media are utterly untrustworthy. Note the tone: 'An increasing number of children are being criminalised by the justice system.'
The correct way to express this is 'Look how many youngsters are now committing serious crimes.' These crimes never had and never have 'The Justice System' as their actual perpetrator - even though it is wholly blameworthy where current outcomes are concerned.
These anti-social young people have to commit huge amounts of pretty serious offences to have any chance of ever getting themselves locked up.
Our courts bend over backwards not to incarcerate youngsters - and in so doing guarantee that the numbers of offences will increase by a disproportionate amount.
Those of you who, unlike this JP, have never read the criminal records of many young, adult criminals, will neither know nor understand how many scores of unpunished juvenile crimes precede the jailing of, say, a twenty-one year old hardened criminal.
The courts' sentencing gets ever weaker and the criminals inexorably become even more entrenched in their toxic lifestyles.
Our current situation has been made inevitable by liberal left influence (always uncorrected by Tories) in our so-called Justice System.
