Life for a life, death penalty and even a minimum 10 year sentance for having a gun let alone using it. That may put people off. Also lower quality prisons F*&k the human rights activists!! Yoiu need to make prison so unbearable nobody would want to go there in the first place let alone go back inside.
One the subject of schools and teachers, my girlfriend has just qualified as a teacher and told me she cant break up fights in the playground for fear of being sued by parents for assault, she cant shout at pupils incase they loose self asteem! WTF! this does not help with all the crime when children go un punished at school let alone on the streets.
