There is rising anxiety in several countries other than just Britain, over the increase in all types of crime and the fact that nothing is being done to protect vulnerable citizens.
Frequent articles in the Press provide statistics which explain why the Police are understaffed and cannot cope with all the complaints by the Public.
Even elected Politicians and Ministers deftly sidestep any involvement to explain WHY nothing is being done ! Criminals all know that Prisons are full and that only "soft Justice" can be dispensed by Judges. Only the most serious criminal offenders are imprisoned for lengthy terms !
Would-be criminals and gangs are no longer deterred by the Police or by the punishment they might get if they are caught and then convicted.
Politicians should regularly be harassed to explain when and how the security of citizens and taxpayers will be better ensured. There are several important changes which they should consider,
- Deterring repetitive criminals by doubling their punishment,
- Deterring murderers by reintroducing the Death penalty,
- Building more new Prisons with facilities for solitary confinement cells.
Only fundamental changes like these could begin to deter criminals and Gangs !
