The person gets away with it so they steal more and it just keeps growing until the person does get caught........ At some stage the offender gets chucked in the pokey where they learn how to commit new and better offences.



To be honest I used to think that too but the evidence is otherwise. The world-leading Dunedin Longitudinal Study found that 70% of teenagers are involved with at least one illegal act. However only a few go on to further criminal behaviour while the rest become responsible citizens.

We cannot have a civilised society where vigilante behaviour becomes acceptable. Death for spraying some paint on a wall.....???? :2cents:

845179 2010-01-05 03:31:00 So you thought you saw research. Was that in a dream?

Apparently it wasn't a dream.

In June 2007, the Norwegian Centre for Transport Research published research noting that:

"There is evidence of increased accident risk per cycling-km for cyclists wearing a helmet. In Australia and New Zealand the increase is estimated to be around 14%. The introduction of a bicycle helmet law in these countries has additionally lead to a reduction of cycling-kilometres of 22%. This effect is likely to be larger for adolescents than for adults, and smallest for children."

As detailed on this website, mandatory bicycle helmet legislation in the State of Western Australia resulted in cyclist injury increases and cyclist number declines around 30%"

845180 2010-01-05 03:39:00 I thought your son should go to court as well assuming he is a witness to the alleged assault unless the person has put in a guilty plea.


I presume he pleaded guilty - several witnesses in any event. Police have not advised the outcome so don't know what the result was. I'm pleased he went to Court - not concerned what the outcome was to be honest although an apology would have been nice. Process rarely happens in one Court sitting though so likely it is on-going.

845184 2010-01-05 05:08:00 Goodness me ! !
It is a new decade, why can't we all get along in a slightly more civilised fashion? A bit of simple action should allow everyone to be satisfied and occupy the moral high ground.
Twelvevolts simply puts a sign on his letterbox announcing that this is a free-tagging area and spray cans are welcome, while Prefect and Cicero could have a sign indicating that taggers body parts will be sold to cover costs.

Throughout the land, the taggers can do as they want, while the tagged have the same freedom of choice.

845185 2010-01-05 05:11:00 Helmets save cyclists from head injury and brain damage any research thats says otherwise is rubbish.
Although the brain size of cyclists must be brought into question who would ride 1.5 metres from a car doing 100 kph? and breath in their exhaust fumes.

Mate you would test the patience of a saint,and it is said I am up for one.
