Between 1999 and 2005 7,356 ASBO's were issued.
The figure now runs at over 4,000 per year.
Are we feeling any safer?
Have the yobs been banished from our streets?
Errrmmm...no!
ASBO's are just another example of Nanny's eye catching "solutions", that don't work, to complex problems.
ASBOs as you rightly say Ken are just another headline catching publicity stunt by a useless government.
ReplyDeleteWe need a return to discipline and respect being taught to the young. Good manners, self respect, respect of authority and respect of other people's property.
The problem is it may be too late as this generation of kids with kids are the offspring of other kids with kids.
I believe lifestyle is much of the problem as there is seldom a parent home to know what their children are up to as society virtually makes it necessary for both parents to work.
Many single baby producing parents only want the benefits that come with having a kid or two (Housing and cash handouts)they don't seem to care what the child is up to. The kid sees this lifestyle as the norm and thus the cycle is repeated.
I have noticed that it is always the people that can least afford it that have the most kids.
These are generalisations and I am sure there are some good single parents that did not choose to be single parents, my comments are directed at the baby producing chavs that think a life on handouts is a reasonable lifestyle choice.
