ONE in every FOUR youngsters committed a crime last year it has emerged.

 

Of the 11million young people aged between ten and 25, a survey found 2.8million had offended.

 

 

BOYS were worse than GIRLS with 33 per cent confessing to a crime, compared to 18 per cent of females.

 

 

 

Eight per cent were classed as frequent or prolific offenders because they committed six or more crimes in the previous year, the study said.

 

 

The offences covered more serious crimes such as theft, burglary, vehicle-related theft, criminal damage, robbery, assaults and drug dealing

 

 

 

The study was based on questioning of 5,000 young people. It found 26 per cent-an estimated 2.8million of the population -admitted committing at least one offence in the previous 12 months.

 

 

Some had committed more than one type of crime, with 1.7million admitting to a violent offence. 1.6million to a property crime and 400,000 to drug dealing.

 

Twelve per cent admitted committing one of the more serious offences of assault causing an injury, robbery or burglary in the past year.

 

But just one per cent of the 2.8million criminals were jailed, given a community sentence or a fine.

 

Only three per cent were even arrested, with two per cent of those either being cautioned or escaping prosecution.

 

The survey also noted a link between drug use and crime among the young.

 

Some admitted trying illegal drugs as young as eight, with 22 per cent using drugs in the previous year.

 

Eight per cent had taken a Class A drugs - Ecstasy or cocaine. Of the drug users, 52 per cent had also committed a crime in the past year, compared with 19 per cent who had not used drugs.

 

The Tories called the figures, slipped out in a raft of crime research yesterday, shocking.

 

The report’s authors admitted the true figures will actually be higher because the survey did not include people in prisons and the homeless, and therefore ‘omits some high offending groups’.

Experts said the study proved Labour’s tactic of focussing crime-fighting efforts on prolific criminals known to the courts failing.

 

Richard Garside, director of Crime and Society Foundation, pointed to the fact that so few young criminals were appearing before the courts.

 

If Ministers were right that a small number of criminals were committing the vast majority of crimes, the figure would be much higher.

 

He said: “The round-up-the-usual-suspects” approach to crime control is part of the problem, not the solution.

 

HALF of prolific young criminals undergoing Labour’s flagship community more crimes broke the rules or were thrown off the scheme, a Home Office study reveals.

 

The Intensive Control and Change Programme was introduced by former Home Secretary David Blunket as an alternative to sending young tearaways to jail.

 

 

Criminals aged 18 to 20 -with an average of 27 convictions each - were electronically tagged and ordered to carry out voluntary work and have intensive supervision.

 

But fewer than half completed their sentence. More than a quarter breached the order - mostly breaking a curfew or missing supervision sessions - but were allowed to continue.

 

ONE in FIVE had their orders revoked - a third for committing new crimes. The scheme has now been dropped.

How Burglary Kills Pensioners.

PENSIONERS WHO ARE BURGLED are far more likely to die in the months after the crime, research has revealed.

 

The chances of elderly victims dying or needing to move into a home are nearly two-and-a-half times greater within two years of a BREAK-IN, according to a Home Office study.

The findings come as a separate report revealed that the number of distraction burglaries-where thieves con their way into homes -may be eight times higher than official figures because elderly victims are too embarrassed to report the crime

 

The health effects of burglary study looked at 80-year-olds living in sheltered accommodation in North Wales. Their health was tracked after a break-in and compared with neighbours of a similar age.

 

The results showed that the likelihood of burglary victims dying or having to move into a care home within two years was 2.4 times greater than those who had not been targeted. Some victims also became very ‘twitchy’ and many were left housebound.

 

The distraction burglary report, meanwhile, found that 12 per cent of victims- most of whom are elderly-tell the police, far lower than other forms of burglary. There could be more than

 

130,000

 

-victims of such crimes a year, it suggested, rather than the 16,000 officially recorded.

 

Tory Home Affairs Spokesman Nick Herbert said:

 

‘The Government claims the public have an exaggerated fear of crime, but this research confirms that the actual level of distraction burglaries is higher than official figures suggest.’

 

Crime victims are snubbing a scheme where they meet their attackers because the encounters often turn nasty, it is claimed.

 

In some parts of the country, only 36 per cent of victims asked to take part in the restorative justice programme agree to a meeting, a Home Office study says.

 

[The fact is that should one put oneself to see a offender -knowing how this Government has allowed so many dangerous offenders particularly burglars to avoid jail or if committed - to leave jail early in order that they can re-offend again and again and again -sometimes hundreds of times with New Labour-but we are now running out of space -but you know -what we mean?]

So You Want Out Of The EU

 

THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE

RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout

Details from petition creator

With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were given

DUAL CITIZENSHIP

-both

EUROPEAN and BRITISH

The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.

The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with

BRITISH DOCUMENTATION

-only such as British  (not EU) passports, driving licences and other national documents.

EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who

HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

 

[PETITION OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 08]

Elections in the British One Party State If you vote Conservative, Labour, Lib-Dem, UKIP or the BNP, you'll be voting for the EU dictatorship. All five party leaderships are EU controlled. That's why your vote doesn't make a difference - all these five parties have the same policies: the EU's policies. The 17 most senior politicians in the Conservative, Lib Dem and Labour parties, including Ken Clarke, Francis Maude, Cameron, William Hague, George Osborne, Nick Clegg, Brown, David and Ed Milliband, Ed Balls, Peter Mandleson are Bilderbergers, the 140 strong band of ultra senior Freemasons who are bribed by the EU to build the EU dictatorship. No Bilderberger, Freemason or Common Purpose graduate should ever be allowed to hold public office. UKIP and the BNP are honey traps to neutralise activists: UKIP is riddled with Freemasons and Common Purpose like a cancer, and the BNP controlled by the Edgar Griffin (father) and son Nick Freemasonry family. The 350,000 freemasons and the 40,000 strong Common Purpose Organisation are the (mostly unknowing) foot soldiers of the EU in Britain. (Which makes the BNP the easiest party to clean up - get rid of the Griffins, and put in a real anti-EU leadership.)  For more details go to :http://eutruth.org.uk IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF UKIP  OR  INTEND TO JOIN THEM TAKE NOTE OF THE MESSAGE ABOVE     THE EDP HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP OF THE UKIP FOR SOME TIME NOW AS IS SHOWN IN A NUMBER OF BULLETINS  OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS WHERE WE HAVE CRITICISED THEIR LACK LUSTRE PERFORMANCE AS THEY FAILED TO MOTIVATE THEIR MEMBERSHIP TO A MORE DETERMINED CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE CAMPAIGN WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THE GOVERNMENTS TREMBLE BUT THEY HAD NO WORRY BECAUSE THEY HAD THEIR OWN PERSONS IN CHARGE AT THE TOP OF THE ORGANISATION.  THIS FIGHTING SPIRIT HAS BEEN LACKING AND WE CAN CONFIRM THIS OURSELVES BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT WHEN A MARCH WAS CANCELLED - AND WATCH THE FARCE WHEN CANDLES WERE HELD AND THOUSANDS OF LETTERS SENT TO MPS WHO KNEW WHERE TO DISPOSES OF THEM -AND ALL TO NO AVAIL.  IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF UKIP YOU HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY YOUR OWN LEADERSHIP SOME APPEAR ON THE ALEX JONES SHOW WHICH HAS BEEN UNDER CLOSE SPOTLIGHT RECENTLY AS BEING CLOSE TO AN ISRAELI SECURITY FIRM DETAILS ON OUR WEBSITE .    IRONICALLY IT WAS A CHANCE LOOK ON THE INTERNET A FEW YEARS AGO  TO COME UPON THAT SITE WHICH OPENED OUR MIND TO THE ILLUMINATI.   THOUGH WE HAVE SOME DETAILS OF THE BILDERBERGERS ON OUR SITE  A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO WE FAILED TO DO MORE RESEARCH- WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN.  THE FAILURE OF UKIP WE HAVE SUSPECTED  FOR MANY YEARS   THAT MANY AT THE TOP OF THEIR ORGANISATION MIGHT BE UNDERCOVER MEMBERS OF THE ILLUMINATI.  IT IS A FAVOURITE TRICK OF THEIRS TO SUPPORT ANY PARTY OR ORGANISATION AT THE OUTSET WHATEVER ITS POLICY AS IT ALLOWS THEM TO PUT THEIR OWN PEOPLE IN TO CONTROL ITS POLICES AS THEY BEHIND THE SCENES SUPPLY THE VITAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT.   Our intention is not to benefit from this disaster as since the 1999 European Election we have NOT! accepted a DONATION! from ANYONE! and we closed membership also because we did not wish to split the vote for UKIP but have stated in the past that we would contest another election if it was ever necessary to enter into the affray again and with the reputation of UKIP under scrutiny we will keep our options OPEN!   As we mentioned some time ago we have been almost two decades on the campaign trail to free our once FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATE of ENGLAND from the SATANIC EU and those who have for centuries have planned for an EVIL ONE-WORLD CORPORATION/GOVERNMENT and EXTERMINATE! at least 5 BILLION of the WORLD'S POPULATION and therefore if we are right about those mentioned above they are not only TRAITORS to their COUNTRY but also a THREAT to WORLD PEACE.   However, of late, matters have NOT! been going well for the ILLUMINATI as you will observe BELOW.     WHAT A WAY TO WIN A WAR       BENJAMIN FULFORD   More!
