Re: Riots
I think the 'zero-tolerance' on street crime is a good idea. It worked in New York. The whole 'broken window' theory. However zero tolerance doesn't mean sentences that are out of proportion, evicting people, or the absurd 5 month sentence for accepting goods stolen by someone else?
Problem for the government is they want to appear tough but the only immediate thing they can do is nonsense like the evictions. The rest of it takes time to put into practise.
