Rape?! 3 Months Curfew for You!

[Crazed Rabbit]

Wait, wait, contain your rage.

The youth who raped a 12 year old girl while threatening her with a knife also got 2 years of supervision and an electronic tag. Not enough, you say?
Well, he will also have to sign "the sex offenders' register" for two years!

Obviously an adequte punishment, especially considering his curfew is from 8pm to 7am and he raped the girl in the afternoon.

I'm sure the festering pile of human filth will learn his lesson. No going out past 8pm for three whole months! With these harsh punishments, it's a wonder there's still crime in Britain.

And who knows? Maybe the justice system will ease off it's hard treatment if he doesn't get caught breaking curfew and give him a shiny new Xbox 360. That'll send him the right message.

Well. Sarcasm's over and I've got a question: is this symbolic of where the justice system is going in britain? Is this a normal sentencing case or very extrordinary? Would the current trend support a move towards this as the norm? Is Britain part of a world conspiracy to lure all the crooks in the world there and then lock them in?

No.

It's sickening. Shoot the youth.

Why not? Problem solved.

Yes, adult punishments for fourteen year old children are exactly what the British justice system needs. Give me a break.

Call me crazy, but I think attempting to dissuade this young man from maintaining his current life course, while there is still time, is probably going to be more productive than banging him up.
