PART 2: 
HOW MUCH MORE TIME IS NEEDED FOR THE POLITICIANS AND THE POLICE TO REALISE THAT POLICE PRESENCE ON URBAN STREETS IS ESSENTIAL AND THERE IS NO KNOWN BETTER EFFECTIVE SUBSTITUTE THAN THE SIGHT OF VISIBLE UNIFORMED POLICE TO DETER STREET OFFENDERS AND GIVE ASSURANCE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC?
A True Life Mugging
The future of boxing and all sports is dependent upon the youth population. boxing action makes no apologies for drawing attention to the blights on youth society that are being managed by failed methods. Part. 2
John Fassenfelt, deputy chairman of the Magistrates’ Association is, however, is absolutely correct when he said: "Justice should never be governed by cost and it is vital that sentencers and the wider public have confidence in community sentences and that the youth offending teams are well resourced to provide a wide range of facilities appropriate for the variety of young people with complex backgrounds and needs.
"Custody really is the last resort and only used when all other measures have been tried and exhausted. It is worthwhile noting that in December last year the number of young people in custody was the lowest since the establishment of the Youth Justice Board.”.
Proof of the accuracy of this statistic is not revealed and the moribund minded Magistrates' Association in practice reverts back to the obvious and rigidly wheels out the obvious that costs should never govern sentencing and courts must be free to pass whatever measure is most appropriate.
This cannot be denied but more modern lateral thinking has to introduced if improvements are to be installed to deal with the majority of young offenders if a recognized failed prison system is to be changed.
It is manifestly wrong to incarcerate children in a lock-up system devised for adults that is also a failed system.
The fact that it costs £140,000 a year to keep a young person in locked-up custody is completely baffling and if creative accounting is not in place then for this reason alone a better system of treating young offenders has to be found.
The stark truth that there are young evil minded children who for inexplicable reasons that baffle trained psychiatrists are intent to damage others and eventually themselves.
Intellectual reasons abound for this tiny afflicted percentage of children with serious mental problems but to date there is not one proven solution.
Despite this being known these dangers to society are put into barred institutions where they are allowed to mix with young people who have criminally transgressed but their crimes do not suggest they are wholly evil.
Those responsible for dealing with crime and punishment have to learn that a crime should not be judged solely on the amount of money stolen from wealthy banks and other overladen money moguls but on the effect a crime has on people that form the society of a country.
For example mugging of elderly and other vulnerable people means that that the streets are unsafe. When people are unable to walk the streets in safety it is a form of anarchy.
Confidence tricksters that rob the elderly by gaining entry into their homes or by criminal trickery charge exorbitant costs for work on their homes, need to be hit by the full force of the law.
The police have a large sized budget to spend on community matters that are best termed as gratuitous welfare policies. Welfare and ‘buying’ favours by the police from communities is misplaced.
The police have to behave in a manner that commands respect and with firm but fair policies, Upholders of law and order that transgress and by criminal behaviour are guilty of giving false evidence and thereby perverting the course of justice, and cause an innocent person to be made a criminal, or even to extend his/her criminal record, should also be hit with the full force of the law.
To fail to have a regular police presence on the streets and for the police not to have in place high grade intelligence using modern technology, which they have available, to enable them to be aware of the criminal intentions of criminal youth gangs BEFORE crimes are committed is indicative of gross management negligence.
How much more time is needed for the politician and the police to realise that police presence on the streets is essential and there is no known better substitute? TO BE CONTINUED.
