Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"

It is the group behaviour these days that is the most worrying, individually today's teens can be polite respectful and nice to know. Get them in a group and all that goes right out the window and you have the baying pack mentality that seems to feel they can do anything they want as a group and have no personal responsibility for their actions.

I have only confronted a group once and that was after daily abuse and insults that i finally got fed up with and went for them as they had been coming after me i was more lucky then anything else as they backed down slinked away and i havn't had any problem since. But i really don't recommend that being an approach to be employed anymore i have seen teen's with knives and also (though i am 99% certain it was a replica) a sidearm.

It is the gang culture we have got to confront and break or the problem is going to continue to get worse until very draconian measures will be bought in by some hapless government wanting to look tougher then the problem.
