I cannot see how it could possibly be that to evict someone from their home will make them respect authority or their community more never mind at all.
If people commit crime they are dealt with by a courtand anyone cauight for these riots should get heavy sentencing but it should also be a court that decides if someone warrants losing their home, weighing up all the considerations thereof.
However, talking of respecting their communities, as well as the above scenario,take into account if not only the perpetrators of crime were evicted from the homes but then also any family they live with,be that wife/husband and children,or Parents etc.
Making all those people homeless too just for having them live in the same house not charged with any rioting offences at all, then how in any way that would make those people respect their communities and authority more is beyond me, it is far more likely to make them lash out more in the community and then not have an address to track them back to, to catch and convict them.
Also, I don't believe it's the case that 'all' tenants of council housing get their rents paid for them.
I know people whose parents live in Council housing and they are paying in excess of £80 a week. It's wrong to generalise that everyone in such housing,or that everyone involved in these riots live in housing paid in full for them by the taxpayers.
