Well, no, it wasn't. You are looking at the past through rose tinted glassess.
Remember the krays? Remember Mad Frankie Fraser? Before you start saying they only hurt their own, remember that their money came from somewhere and it probably wasn't other criminals.

In this day and age, you cannot walk down the streets, without being mugged, or raped, OAP walk in fear of there lifes, no one will ever get involved with helping someone out, we have RB still in prison, no harm to anyone, very ill and been moved to an OAPs unit in prison, to be supervised with other OAPs inside, what is wrong with people, when they say he should stay behind bars, we hear each day, people getting away with murder, phedos, getting away, child and police killers getting lenient sentences, to me it does not make sense, that this is allowed to happen, give the guy a break, or do people think, if he is released he will get in his wheelchair and rob the local newsagent - l doubt it.

You are exaggerating slightly. I personally have never been mugged or raped despite going out on the streets most days. The nearest I have come is having my pocket picked, and even that was during the 80s. Also, people do not get away with Murder everyday. Nor do Paedos (that particular problem has not changed in several decades). Child and police killers do not get let off either. Remember, Juries decide who is guilty or not. Juries made up of people like you and me. Why would they think any differently to us?
On the other hand, the Papers have to make money and there is a strong perception within the media that good news does not sell as well as bad news. Think about that. When was the last time that you read in the papers that the police had caught a mugger? You hear when muggers strike.
