Citizens are actually allowed to arrest criminals whilst they are engaged in criminal activity, however it is a bit hard to do if you are not armed.

I'm not necessarily advocating any of the following, but to give you a view into a different world, do you think we would have more law and order if
- Teachers, including primary school teachers, were allowed to cane children.
- Magistrates had caning as a sentencing option (for adults and minors.) (Sentence administered by police.)
- It was lawful for a member of the public (or a police officer) to shoot a suspected criminal if that was the only way to prevent them escaping.
These all used to be happen in South Africa. (Admittedly not currently admired for its low crime rate.)
I was nearly caned for the first time at the age of six, but was let off for my offence when the deputy-headmaster realised that having only ever had female teachers, I wasn't being cheeky but genuinely didn't know I was supposed to address him as "Sir."
The schools did become a bit namby-pamby later on, class teachers were no longer allowed to administer corporal punishment if you failed to do your homework, and the rules changed so that only the headmaster was allowed to cane pupils.
The law that allowed criminals to be apprehended by bullet was changed in the late nineties I think, after the media kicked up a bit of a fuss because of a couple of hard cases. One example was a young teenage boy shot in the back of the head by a shopkeeper. It turned out the boy hadn't been shoplifting after all, but the shopkeeper was found to be within his rights.

All crime is commited by the living. So simply make life itself a crime. And possesion of which, punished by confiscation.

You can tell those two are criminals just from looking at them. High time we abolished courts and just imprisoned anyone who looks like that, the chances of wrongful imprisonment would probably be no higher than we get now and it would be much cheaper.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThat theory has been argued about and studies show that in the States it didn't actually work and one of the reasons for decrease in the crime rate included demographic changes meaning less young people.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostZero-tolerance policing. That's what's needed. Big crimes are carried out by people who readily commit small crimes. Act on the small crimes and you'll soon find that fewer big crimes are committed, because the criminals are inside.
