The 10% that are, deserve everything that the legal system deems correct for them provided their human rights are observed.
Otherwise I have little to add in this matter.  |
I do agree with you that 90% are not thugs, bullies, criminals or vandals....However the 10% that are represent quite a large number, I am sure someone will be able to quote figures for school leavers. We must also remember that many of these young offenders re-offend often on much larger scales of crime, and the 10% figure is a rolling figure being added to every year.
I guess I am really saying that young offenders dont just have a timeclock that stops them from being bad, they can if not corrected progress to more serious crimes and often do, after honing their skills with other offenders.
