invisionfree.com 2013

1. Should the death penalty exist as a punishment for murder or terrorism?

No, because most of the murders behave correctly after going to jail so it is unfair to kill them. For another reason is that everybody make mistakes so i am against this idea.

2. Should the main purpose of prison be punishment or rehabilitation?

I think that the main purpose of prison is punishing criminals because if we let them without punishing they will do it again.

3. What is the best way to deal with juvenile crime such as:

- Joy-riding : I think that they should take their license for one year to drive good in the road and behave well.
- Vandalism : I think that they should put them in the jail and let them pay fine for the damages.
- Graffiti : I think that they also need to pay money for the police for the drawings they did and give them small punishing.

4. Is it ever right for political activities to break the law?

No, because if the man how represent the law will break it what about people. They will act like him and break the law so nobody will respect the law.

5. How strict should the law be with people who drink and drive?

They should increase the fine for those people to avoid drinking while driving because it is really dangerous to the person him self and the public which might cause many accidents and deaths.

6. Which is the more serious problem in your country - tax evasion or social security fraud?

In my country we do not pay for tax evasion or even for social security fraud. But here in the UK the more serious problem is the social security fraud because it accumulate and thin it will be expansive. On the other hand, the tax evasion is expansive but you can control your purchases.

7. Should the police have the right to stop and search you in the street without a warrant?

No, because they should give a good reason or a warrant from the government to search you and to be honest with all people.

8. Should the law respect the rights of homeless people to squat in unoccupied property shop doorways?

No, they should take care of them by supporting them and avoid this view because in some cases it gives the tourist bad impression about the country and the government.

9. Should smoking cannabis be a criminal offence?

Yes, because in most religion it is illegal and it is also harmful to people which can cause illnesses. According to a Research carried out by King's College London (2007) has indicated that "25 per cent of young offenders in Sheffield have turned to crime to find their habit"

UK Riot 2011

guardian.co.uk 2011

London Riot is a miserable event that occur in London on the 6th of August 2011 and it were ended on the 11th. People were going down to the street and do illegal activities like stealing from shops and burning. The cause of this event is that a police officer shoots a person by mistake because he was carrying a gun. As i see in some videos that most of people went down to the street without any reason and making a very dangers activities that effect the population. So many shops were closed and destroyed completely which cost the government a lot of money to rebuild the damages property. In my opinion, the government should make a strict rules against the protester and punishing all these people by arresting them. Moreover, there are some people encourage all the population in all over the UK like in Cardiff, Manchester and London to attend this event by the internet for example twitter and Facebook and they should be punished as well.
