I’m still at a lost how a 17 year old can rape a 13 year old in a park and not go be jailed. Also worth pointing out it took four years for this case to come to court.
Tories keeping their mates out of prisons sadly. If you don’t vote Labour next GE you support this!
There is certainly no reason for them not to be. If the goal of prison is rehabilitation (I know it is not currently but you live in hope) then prison would be an appropriate place for that, especially as it takes someone potentially dangerous off the street while that happens. You’d hope this is a very rare occurrence but we would need a proper look at the statistics to know how many sex offenders are avoiding prison like this.
Rehabilitation doesn’t work. I’ve worked directly with all sorts of criminals and they ALWAYS re offend. The percentage of ex cons who go on the straight and narrow is tiny, way less than they tell the public. Simple fact is, they don’t want people in prison. Courts do everything possible to keep people out of prison, which is why we currently have more UK residents on tag than we’ve ever had before. The problem is that tags are only a deterrent for low level criminals, anyone serious just cuts the fucker off and goes out rapin again
Wouldn’t work unless the government built more prisons and hired more staff. Prisons are already full to the brim.
The “Calls” are just political BS that won’t happen
It’s no wonder so many rapes go unreported when offenders can essentially get away with it even if they’re convicted.
