danot Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Sky News report (no link yet) claiming 90% of people think the UK rioters should be made to repair the damage they caused rather than go to jail. Good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I always believe in restitution rather than mere punishment - excepting, of course, cases where a criminal is still a danger to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbow2411 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's an excellent idea, but our political masters have neither the intelligence nor conviction (no pun intended) to implement such a common sense programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear people like you are so predictable, use what intelligence you have and I am sure even you could find a way to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Oh dear people like you are so predictable It's a sensible point. Giving a thug a saw doesn't mean he can build you a new table. That which is easily done, cleaning and brushing/mopping up, has already been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbow2411 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 A really bad situation such as this could be turned into an opportunity to make work in the community into a reality. If only we as a country could stop being so negative and develop a backbone we just might see some improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
