Comment on Anti-social crime leaves town 'like the Wild West'

Get a grip. This just reads of rampant individualism and justification for more police.
It takes a village to raise children and all that. If a town is incapable of getting some teenagers to behave the solution isn’t calling in additional police. Give them something to do, a reason to look after the area they live in, act like a community. They need third places, not the heavy hand of the law.

This is the real issue, everything kids used to do has pretty much gone, youth clubs, and anything else age appropriate has pretty much been Defunded. They made a big deal of reopening our local youth club by me, but in the end its bizarrely an adult only place providing activities for adults only. even the high streets are closing down so no shops to hang around. The best part if they stay inside, people moan ‘why dont kids go out anymore’
