About time!
Youth crime is on the rise, in 2006 the crime rate increased more then 3%. Homicides committed by youth are at an all time high. Violent crime rate among youth rose over 12% over the last decade. In 2006 violent crime was up 30% from 1991.
Clearly something had to be done.
Today the Conservatives have pledged to increase funding to gang rehabilitation, and introduce mandatory sentencing for youths convicted of serious, violent crime.
The focus of the law will be on accountability and protection of society.
Its about time.
Also, let us all be aware, many of these recommendations come from the 2006 recommendations of a Nova Scotia commission of inquiry led by retired Justice D. Merlin Nunn.
We're better off with Harper.
