I was reading what this topic is all about and i saw that it stated the fact about Jamie Bulger's killers. Well those guys are evil - no question. What they did was horrendous and that sort of behaviour should be severely punished (which in my opinion wasn't but then again many quilty persons don't get what they deserve). And now with them being given immunity and a new house and everything is totally unfair. Granted that if the public knew who they were and where they were they probably would be murdered. But tell me one thing - if they get treated like that should all other convicts who commit just as bad a crime be treated and taunted in the same way? Yes they committed a devastating crime which i, like everyone else, do not condone at all. But what do you think should have happened to them? They get locked behind bars for life for committing this crime? But then why don't all other murderers get that sort of treatment? Should they all be given abuse? Should they be reminded of what they did for the rest of their lives? Or should they too be given immunity?

Personally i can see why they are being protected. Come on people they did something bad but they have done the time, and now should they not be allowed to have some sort of life? Should they not be given a chance to do something? We do not have capital punishment in this country so what else could have been done to them? They are said to be stable people now so i feel that they should be given a chance. I know that Jamie will not be given a chance because of these guys so you could say why should they be given a chance. It's life though isn't it. Nothing in this world is fair so we have to live with it.

So to all young offenders - what on earth should be done to them? Well for starters they should be given help because they are surely under some sort of mental strain to even contemplate doing evil. So rehabilitation is a good start. Integrating them back into society
is a very good thing as they will try and readapt and get some sort of normality back into their lives. And also i think tagging is used on them and that is good as they will be able to be traced by our very reliable police service (am i being sarcastic about the police being reliable? You make your own mind up)

Just remember people that adults are released after they have committed murders, so why is it so wrong for youths to be released?

p.s. on the subject of young offenders in general I definitely think that community based projects for lesser crimes are a brilliant, progressive idea.

I don't think two ten year olds can really BE evil but I do agree that what they did was horrendous. It's such a hard topic to be rational about because the details of many of the cases are so upsetting. I do agree that if criminals are 'rehabilitated' as well as punished they should be released, it's a waste of more lives (and money to be cold about it) if they are not.

Actually, go jump, I'm on your side here. I do think rehabilitation is possible for all except the tiniest handful of unremorseful or dangerous inmates - Ian Brady seems unlikely ever to be safe on the outside, while Myra Hindley I reckon - and I know this is a seriuously unpopular view among tabloid readers - should be considered for (not automatically granted, but considered for) release (on licence, remember, as with all other lifers).

I'd have liked to have seen maybe a little more about how you think the rehabilitation of young offenders should differ from that of adults, it's "James" Bulger, not "Jamie" (despite what you read in the papers), and there's the odd irritation in the English ("I" needs to be capitalised throughout); but I still think it's a good piece in general.
