The problem is this government is under pressure from the public (understandably so when the media constantly sensationalises crime) to get fast results and so when looking for these causes, it's done very quickly and very inefficient to actually produce any validity, which means that money is wasted on these 'schemes' to try to stop criminals offending but it's wasted in all the wrong places so it just looks like this 'liberal' view as you put it is a waste of money and time.

Government cannot control what goes on in the family and it has no place in it either. Crime will always be here its a fact of life and we need to accept it, that doesnt mean we shouldnt lock up dangerous people/people who ruin others lives through crime.

The media may sensationalise some stories, but the majority of stories now are getting lets be honest.. stupid. People are being allowed out or not even going in for crimes which deserve a sentence/life sentence. All most people want is for the government to lock these people up and protect us all - thats the job of a government. But as i've said in past and ties into the liberal part; we are ruled by a liberal elite who put the rights of the criminals first and the victims second.
