Under 18 curfew in Poland [16]
A curfew is not really a solution.
Its education from a very early level.
Its getting involved in the community - get them before they get bored and get into anti social behaviour
Im one to talk - I wouldnt be volunteering to do this - I know its something that requires paid, trained proffesstional people to engage the community with full support (it aint coming) from funders (gov't local business)
It is an investment to be sure - the stats speak for themselves (anti social behavior is on the rise and rise!)
a curfew is not a proactive solution and is not a really good reactive solution.
after suggesting the above proactive - what would i suggest as reactive?
open centres where they can 'hang' out in a safe, monitored envoirment. Show films, tv, computer games. (all under CCTV to ensure safetyy and issue fines and communtity service to YOUNG age offenders! forget prison - thats a cost to community rather than a cost to the offender
