I think some parent need to have thier kids taken into care, so they can hopefully be taught/brought up correctly.
My wife is a primary school teacher and the school always get parents of bullies coming in, shouting and rawping which only serve to show their kids that agression is the only way forward.
Also, I don't buy into the police being powerless to stop juvenille crime as they have a wealth of power that they simply don't use. Get caught speeding or cosh billy burglar when he is lifting your gear and they are all over you like a rash. Get crashed into by a hit and run driver or burgled, you don't see the police for days.
