I note (having voted) that more than 81% have voted for change - It's a pity that the vermin^H^H^H^H^H politicians will ignore it.

'Let burglars off with caution', police told
08:08am 3rd April 2006
"Burglars will be allowed to escape without punishment under new instructions sent to all police forces. Police have been told they can let them off the threat of a court appearance and instead allow them to go with a caution.
"The same leniency will be shown to criminals responsible for more than 60 other different offences, ranging from arson through vandalism to sex with underage girls.
"New rules sent to police chiefs by the Home Office set out how seriously various crimes should be regarded, and when offenders who admit to them should be sent home with a caution.
***
"The Home Office instruction applies to offenders who have admitted their guilt but who have no criminal record.
"They are also likely to be able to show mitigating factors to lessen the seriousness of their crime.
"The instruction to abandon court prosecutions in more cases - even for people who admit to having carried out serious crimes - comes in the wake of repeated attempts by ministers and senior judges to persuade the courts to send fewer criminals to jail."
