Advantages: We have to address this on all sides, Its upto the parents to break the cycle
Disadvantages: Uncomfortable truths
This op is difficult to write without being deemed a racist under dooyoo rules. The problem is that recent crime surveys have highlighted the uncomfortable truth that a percentage of serious youth crime is being committed by certain groups.19% of the ballooning prison population is black or Asian when they account for only three and a half percent of the population. In the big city prisons they equate to twenty five percent of the prison population, although there are much higher ethnic groups in the five major cities in the UK. The white underclass are at home in the youth crime figures to and commit a disproportionate amount for their social class as in any country .Car crime, vandalism and shop lifting seem to be the specialties in this lot with the parents usually having similar form. These to seem to be more prevalent in crappy areas. Half of all robberies,(theft from the person) are committed in just twenty inner city areas,with drug den Lambeth at the top. Of that twenty, 14 are metropolitan boroughs of London that suggest the bulk of street crime and theft from the person is being committed by ethnic minorities who populate these particular inner cities. 1st) Lambeth. 2nd Hackney. 3rd Southwark 4th Camden 5th Haringey 6th Westminster 7th Tower Hamlets 8th Mosside 9th St Pauls 10th Newham These areas are black ones whichever way you cut it and its up to those comminutes to say no more. It?s the mothers and fathers who have the final decision on what their kids are going to turn out like. 80%of all street robberies are committed by black youths on mostly children off al colors and creeds. Theres been a 28% rise in mobile phone theft and muggings on Britain?s street in one year in a time of relative low unemployment which should suggest a down curve in crime. Something isn?t right here, especially in London, which has the highest amounts of street thefts. So whats the m
issing link here that is making crime rise in under twenty five youth offenders so rampantly. We know the prisons are at the fullest ever and that local police station?s have been asked to turn over their cells for criminals waiting for trial. We hear that theres an increase of convicted youth offenders being released early or being tagged who are also quickly re-offending. General crime rose by 7% nationally according to the national crime survey, which was one of two big reports released at the same time. The reason two were released like that so was that the New Labor spin docs could dampen down the true disaster that is going on out there. One percent less crimes were solved which suggests tolerance by police and people being attacked no longer reporting the crime. The two surveys released on crime are by the police and their recorded crime figures and the far more reliable householder survey where people tell of their crime experiences. Drugs are at the heart of this and I was nearly a victim of it like many dooyooers out there with similar stories. I was sitting in a London park reading a book on a summer?s day on the grass. Lots of people around, although I was in a quieter area. A guy was having a rest on his bike from selling what ever, only to be harangued by the next guy up in his particular food chain of drug suppliers demanding cash or goods to pay the guy on his back up the chain. The young chap was busily smoking his next sale and was clearly unable to pay off his `supervisor` and needed money to make up the numbers to avoid a braining. The guy was stressing him so much that you could see he would do anything for both of them to avoid a good kicking. Then the shouter pointed to me and said`go an get his fone man`. Now I know that wasn?t going to be a polite requests and to avoid confrontation with someone probably on crack I legged it discretely. I got out of that situation by being fairly y
oung and quick witted, others don?t and become that small paragraph in your local paper you tut- tut at but quickly ignore as another statistic. Another reason why certain delinquent/desperate crimes are on the increase is because new growing groups of people are infiltrating those stats alarmingly. We know that most of the crime that is rising is committed by an over represented group of ethnic minorities in the inner city zones. We also know that unfiltered groups of illegal immigrants, mostly from Eastern Europe and Africa are flooding these inner cities under asylum rules. As uncomfortable as that may seem to you and me, they are one of the most likely reasons we are seeing a massive rise in delinquent crime in a time of relative prosperity. To get away from an obviously sensitive subject we should look at Northern Ireland where the paramilitaries control the inner cites and their bored young people. Here youth crime is harnessed and directed by paramilitaries for their means towards the opposing religion and in the young is seen as a culturally excepted as a way of life on the sink estates as a way for the Province to let go its tensions and fears. Here they don?t lock them up and allow them to walk amongst the IRA or Unionist controlled areas to be policed by the bad guys. Blunkett is today talking about giving special license to release the most notorious young murderers that are now older and wiser. This measure seems just as knee jerk and worrying as his drug leniency one that?s devised just to release the over capacity on prisons. Young offenders cause most serious crime to the person and the welfare of people. They commit 70% off all crime in society and cost us ten pounds a week, every week. The solution is some sort of national service that brings out and utilizes their abilities to do good for society. It?s obvious that crappy estates will recycle delinquency everytime and to get people to take t
he equally crappy jobs they are only able to do wont be easy. Blunkett saying the pot dealers will get bigger prison terms now will encourage then to deal harder drugs now with similar sentences. This big step in trade means more kids on these housing estates are going to be pulled into the drug culture. Youth crime and illegal substances are symbiotic and the home secretary?s leniency on the later is going to have to be matched by tackle the end result of that bizarre action. More and more poor comminutes are going to be ripped apart as the Lambeth scheme spreads and a drug dealer on ever school gates. The coppers in charge of that stupid operation told Blunkett its results were indifferent and its perhaps not been a good idea all around. But MR B didn?t want to hear that at the time of horrendous youth crime figures and buried their argument. So we have a coward as a Home Sec and a weak PM. Crime is out of control and I suspect a lot of dooyooers have suffered that crime this year and perhaps agrees with me. You have a one in twenty chance of being robbed of your mobile over the year in Lambeth. If Mr Blunkeet wants to spread that to other areas than I for one will be voting back in the Tories.Is he the worst ever Minster on the planet?.
