National service needs coming back and make it 2 years really really hard time as well, the problem is that there is no deterrent, prison is the easy option and they like going in as some sort of trophy!
bloke years ago round here decided to nick a motor did not realise that the family were a little notorious (to say the least!!) anyway he ends up bundled in a van and driven up the woods for a good hiding. didnt misbehave again, maybe a bit vigilante-ish but i think you have to fight fire with fire sometimes its the only thing they seem to understand??
