vor dem "Select Committee on Home Affairs" in GB.
Auszug aus dem Bericht:
" 5.4 There is also no convincing evidence that tougher sentences will impact on knife crime by acting as a deterrent. The Halliday review of sentencing carried out on behalf of the government in 2001 found that "t is the prospect of getting caught that has deterrence value, rather than alterations to the "going rate" for severity of sentences." The doubling of the penalty for knife carrying will almost certainly mean more children go to prison for longer—given that knife carrying peaks in the 16 to 18 age group. It does not, however, mean that there will be less "knife violence", as the story of firearms offences has shown despite the introduction of harsher sentences. The most recent data available, police recorded crime statistics for 2005-06, show that firearms offences are on the rise again. There were 4,036 firearm robberies in 2005-06, a 10% increase on the previous year. Both handguns and shotguns were used in 7% more offences in 2005-06 than 2004-05 and there were 474 firearm offences that resulted in serious injury in 2005-06—a 16% increase over 2004-05.
[...]
6.1 [...]Furthermore, a reduction in the use and carrying of knives will only occur if the incidence of violence is addressed by a long term strategy. The knife is merely an implement used in crime. Without dealing with the underlying causes of violent crime—such as inequality and relative deprivation—initiatives to reduce knife usage will have only a limited impact. Ultimately, stabbings are not caused merely by the presence of a knife. More essential is the context within which the resort to extreme acts of violence unfolds."

Ich verwurste das gerade in einem Brief.
Sollte sowas nicht auch in den Ork-Fred?
