Just how concerned should we be?
I have just returned from my business offices in Bedfordshire, that means hours on the M25 and even more on the M3 both being subject to road works that seem to go on for ever. However that is not the point, during my journey I listened to radio five live and got highly excited during a phone in about whether or not we should know the new identity of the odious man Venables who together with another ten year old killed young Bulger seventeen years ago. Putting my Crime and Disorder hat on I listened for an hour to the arguments for and against but by the end of it all concluded that what really matters is why it happened at all and, you can hear my drum starting,where/what and how did the parents of these two individuals do to create such monsters and why were they not in the dock so to speak for their irresponsibility to their Children and to society as a whole. And even more worrying, how concerned should we be that after eight years of treatment some bright spark decides that these killers can be returned to the community. Just where does the evidence come from that determines that social scientists can decide that persons of such depravity can be returned to normal society. How many more criminals who may have been subject to more or less publicity have been dealt with in the same way and how much does that put Joe-Public in danger? What are the pressures that are applied to get persons who are capable of these offences out of custody and into society where they can offend again. Is this part of the governments program to reduce sentences to free our overcrowded prisons? And what are our rights in knowing that these persons are in our community. Finally in industry should someone make such catastrophic mistakes as highlighted here then they would be fired, sacked never to hold position again and yet in this soft pshyco..... world they continue softly, quietly with their social engineering experiments and who suffers at the end? Answers please!
