  1. for a start don't make life in prison like a Holiday camp, prison should be a punishment not TV etc, when in side make them learn respect, and work to put some think back into the society and go back to years ago bring the death penalty back and life means life and get rid of this PC brigade


  2. Bring back Capital Punishment, The Birch, Flogging. Little scumbg chavs and druggies deserve nothing else.

    Why should they sit in a nice cosy cell with luxuries while many of their victims have nothing.

  3. Yes it is definitely failing - we need punishment deterrents that fit the crimes.  I don't advocate Middle Eastern ways but punishments there fit the crimes commited - shoplifters in Western societies would soon stop if they realised the punishment was amputation of a hand!  And as for rapists...

  4. Whose society are you referring to?

  5. Bring back harsher punishments instead of giving a slap on the wrist and saying go home you naughty boy/girl.  Harsher punishments are a deterrent, i.e. hanging for murder.

  6. harsher punishments are certainly necessay....but this can and should be done only once the trial processes are carried out in better fashion and the accused person's guilt proven in proper manner.....(i.e)harsher  punishments should mean that that the accuracy of conviction should be very high.......AND NO INNOCENT PERSON SHOULD BE CONVICTED IN THE PROCESS

  7. Society is not failing because of the government. I think we all should look a bit closer to home and stop all this "blame culture". The family as a whole has broken down due to people being greedy. Family breakdowns began to happen through couples not being committed enough to keep the family together,and working together as a whole. Discipline is also in total decline with young people not only doing as they please but older members allowing them to so so!

  8. Our society is failing but it has nothing to do with crime on the streets. Society is failing on a global economic basis as competing capitalist powers attempt to stake claim to wealth-producing global assets.

    I don't think anything can be done. We (all nations) have subjected ourselves to being governed by the most rapacious and greedy among us.  I think we (the human race) will destroy ourselves as the elites escalate the battles over wealth.

    There is an old saying that rich people love that goes, "Fortune favors the bold."

    Unfortunately though, so does catastrophe.

  9. If you talk about the USA, the country which houses 40% of the entire worlds prison population, with a price tag of 46,000 per head a year?

    The country, which has the highest rate of murders and general crime in the entire world?

    There are numerous reasons and the biggest is, that about 80 Million people life in poverty and crime is s short step from desperation.

    No other Western Nation has that problem.

  10. society is failing because government was failed society, and the worst crimes are commited by government on society

  11. I agree with Vivek
