with regards to the asbo nation
if you cannot be arrested or charged for ANY crime because you are too young in the eyes of the court then you are eventually going to feel untouchable
many years ago i thought the best option was to say
"ok you did this crime and that has a minimum term of x with no parole as due to your age you are serving parole now, on you 18th birthday we will come and lock you away for that term before you even get to blow the candles out."
"ah i see youve committed another arrestable act that will be liable for jail term, guess what its going ontop of your current unserved time."
so the more crime you do the longer you get
x months here and their mounts up to a couple of years
but just imagine as some of these crimes are murder
you could go into jail on your 18th and not leave till your 30's or later with no chance of parole as you were using that up in your under 18 years
the old addage of do the crime serve the time needs sharper teeth when police officers darent try anything incase they themselves get arrested for assauling a minor
