| Taking all of the above into consideration, I think one difference between now and even ten or fifteen years ago is the length of sentences once a criminal has been caught and found guilty.
I am incredulous at some of the pathetic sentences given for serious offences rapists, paedophiles and murderers commit, including those who cause deaths on the road.
To my mind if you lock someone away for a minimum of 10 years with no parole for the above offences then we know damn well that that particular person can't commit any further offences to our loved ones for at least 10 years.
Re - offend again when you come out? Then next time matey it's 25 years minimum. And if you murder your victim to cover up your crime?
Life, to mean until you die.
I wonder what the re-offending rate would be then? |
