“Harass young thugs, police urged” for anti-social behavior. UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith (BBC)

Youths who persistently misbehave and intimidate others in their communities should be "harassed themselves", Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has said.

But the government should be "nipping these problems in the bud much earlier", the Liberal Democrats said.

Home Office figures suggest that two-thirds of those involved in anti-social behaviour - including vandalism, threatening behaviour and street drinking - abandon it after their first warning.

Cheney and Bush would like to be able to define anti-social behavior and use LEO to harass offenders such as those of us who post on DU.

1. There are some thugs around here I'm fixing to harass...bigtime.

They poisoned my neighbor's dogs, threatened his daughter and broke into his garage and stole his lawn mowers.
I really hope they try that shit on me.

2. Lol! Sometimes politicians amaze me.

Because, you know, making their lives more difficult will certainly make them want to play by the rules.
