I wonder if in order to have some more consequence for juvenile crime, if parents should be liable in some cases for the costs or repercussions.
I don't think neighbourhood watch would work these days. Too many people who don't care. I remember them as a kid though.
If the parents actually care there will probably be consequences already. Some people just don't though -_-
We have a neighbourhood watch centre that looks like it's operational but have never actually looked into it which gives me a vague hope.
