compulsory national service from age 16-18 in place of college
you learn discipline, morals and values whilst studying equivalent of A-levels
from there you can stay in the army, go to university or go into work

high school 11-16, pupils expelled for behaviour such as violence, bullying, drugs and sent to military reform schools which are run in same way as the 16-18 age bracket

once you are 18 and you commit a serious crime such as robbery,mugging, murder, rape etc you get removed from society permanently by deportation to Antarctica where they can live however they like

of the prisons we have at present some would remain as prisons for minor criminals and some converted into reform schools

I think the first thing needed is full accountability from those in privileged position and most certainly the lawmakers in Govt to ensure the very best example is set and shown from the very top down.
No more people getting away with tax avoidance, massive companies ripping customers off with massively excessive profits especially on energy and fuel etc.

Banks made more accountable too.Less of this grabbing by those who have too much already and gaining more at the poorer and more weaker's expense.

Something like National Service would maybe be a good thing,16 to 18 is a good age to do something like that, while it could be run on a Forces principle, I doubt the Forces would want to take on the role themselves so it would require Govt planning for it,maybe in conjunction with the armed forces.

Problems are complex, criminality is totally wrong but you don't necessarily get success by using force and extremes.prison is a breeding ground for more crimes and often for drugs too.
A whole overhaul of the people we send to prison needs to be done, send a petty thief to prison and often they come out worse than they went in.
Violence in any crime though should result in a custodial sentence.

I think these riots are a good opportunity for Govt, all people in responsible positions like Parents, teachers etc,to go back to the drawing board and plan new ways to mould better citizenship.
Yes also, to talk to the people who have committed the crimes too.Work out a way forward for everyone but someone needs to lead the way on that and it needs to start with a listening Govt and not one that wants to just paint over the cracks,bringing in a few at present popular measures to appear being really tough, when in reality they are not.

Britain has it's problems but on the whole it's a damn decent place and no better or worse in relative terms than it ever was in the past few decades. Each generation brings new problems that replace the old ones and each generation brings another self obsessed group of people who are convinced the apocalypse is at hand in their lifetime.

Britain isin't broken.

[lostalex]

The same way I fix anything else that's broken... with tons of duct tape.

[InOne]

What did they do last time Britain was broken? They had a royal wedding lol To forget all our trouble, well, cover them up.

They need to give something back to the people, maybe the choice to smoke in a pub would be a good start?
