Hey Chris,
Awesome work on your blog. Your points you have discussed here are also what i have to agree with on teenage crime. Agreeing with the comments before me the death penalty is too much but the NZ punishment system needs to be a little more harsh to keep these kids in line. Or we should expect the teenage violent crime stats to rise. I feel looking at teenagers these days and almost encountering a fight with a few young boys not so long ago because my friend was of European ethnicity they feel that "fighting or threatening" another person is something that is cool! Picking on the older generation is even worse! If i had it my way i'd take it back to old school where discipline NOT ABUSE was allowed! at least then they knew where they stood and didn't try and do half the things kids do now. Teenagers back in those days had their rebels but there was that line of respect Now if you beat someone because you could is something that kids go looking for just to report back to their friends which is sad and should be looked at more closely. great eye-opening topic!

Nice work! Very good blog and interesting topic. I also agree with you that stricter punishments should be made for some of these offenders as they clearly know and have been told that what they are doing is wrong. If they are willing to do the crime they should face a fair punishment. I also agree that for a teenager, experience is everything and more money should be put into experience enriching rather than technology.(although technology can also be a good thing)

Again, Nice work!

Thanks Ethan and Luseane. I am glad this topic didn't ruffle too many feathers mind you for people it did they probably wouldn't of commented. Either which way as I have stated a lot of people are looking to go back to the 'old school' method of punishment (discussing of course about the 'process'). I personally think that the track we are leading down will only ring larger negatives if not monitored by people looking to change the future. Hopefully some one will pick this case up. Waiting..........
