arrowhead Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/woman-barred-from-sheffield-leisure-centres-for-stealing-from-lockers-1-7117902 Goodness knows how many more thefts she committed. And the pain and inconvenience caused buy her acts (believe me) are hard to fathom unless you come back to your locker and find someone has broken in and your wallet & keys are gone!! Time like these, the Saudi punishment for theft seems appropriate, not this joke of a suspended sentence!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time like these, the Saudi punishment for theft seems appropriate, not this joke of a suspended sentence!! This is appealing. And just re-enforces my view that the sentencing in this country is an absolutely joke. Ah didums she had drugs and alcohol problems. When will people ever take responsibility for their actions if we hand out these pathetic sentences. Edited February 23, 2015 by woodmally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I often think the judges that hand out lenient sentences have not personally been on the receiving end of such crimes. I feel sure that real sentences to fit the crimes would be a vote winner. It’s Amazing why none of the parties don’t jump on the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKIP for one is the sort of party that would. However what you find is most of the parties that have these views are of the right of British Politics. Many parties I couldnt stomach voting for have these views but also have a lot of other views I find unpalatable. Labour would never support it as they are always on the side of the criminal and the druggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is that when the public are faced with the reality of how much it'll cost to put all these extra people into jail, public support quickly dries up!

Rob!!! Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I had just been reading this in the star and was thinking the exact same. she should have been locked up with a past like hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think jail time is the solution to the problem. Some offenders may mend their ways, but it is not a deterrent for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting her off Scott free isn't much of a deterrent either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) They didn't let her off, they banned her from leisure centers.. Poor woman, she's only got 125 previous offenses.. well, recorded offences! I wonder how many reported thefts there have been from lockers. I believe you can ask for any case to be referred if you think the sentence inappropriate. Edited February 23, 2015 by neeeeeeeeeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
