Well, according to the Government, it's not their fault, it's the fault of computer games and films. On, and rap music. Do I need to dignify that with a counter argument? Show some backbone, take some responsibility and do something about it.
I dislike living in a country where, should someone break into my house and I hit them with a big stick, I'm more likely to go to jail than they are... People are no longer afraid of being caught if they commit a crime, and are unlikely to face serious punishment even if they are. No wonder crime is booming.
