Goff says Labour did more than three strikes will ever do

Violent crime has been climbing since the 70's under both right and left govt's. As always certain people on here are quick to put down and blame labour when the truth is neither right or left has done anything effective in combating crime in this country.
From my point of view the higher crime rates reflect the fact that children are no longer taught right from wrong or concequences for thier actions while young and national has just proved that they don't really want to make a difference (smacking referendum) or they would start at the root cause of the problem. This new law will not change crime statistics at all but at least it will get a few murderers to serve the sentences they are given. Therefore i agree with it.

Sorry to tell you 'Oh Please', there is a federal three strikes law in the US. This means it covers all the states, but only for felonies.

Rabid Aliens are such a stuck record... in the last 9 years, in the last 9 years they keep repeating... lol what about when National were cutting back half way houses for the mentally ill and they all went on a killing rampage?

In the last 3 decades which encompasses both labour and National we have had escaped convicts, residivist murderers and rapists etc.

Please Alien time to live in the present.

Time for constructive new policies, is this it? I dont know, but from the same experiments done in america I would say not.

The associate minister of Justice was on radio quoting californian statistics, however with statistics we know that

A) it depends on who the report was commissioned by,

B) we dont know what anomalies were overlooked? ie: the wealthier areas of california have higher policing like beverly hills, hollywood etc which are a greater means of crime prevention and therefore influence the results.

Another question you have to ask yourself, if its so great... why isnt it law in all american states? because its for more radical groups? because it doesnt work as they say it does?.

Remember Jenny Shipley, all of New Zealand disliked her... should we relive the 90's as well since you cant get your head around the present day alien and whats happening today?.

What you and Labour achieved Goff were a lot of PC Judges being appointed who were under the control of your Socialist Govt. And what were the results? More let out on Parole to go on and kill or maim more people. I think it's time to make the prison system a lot harder for the these scum and have them on hard labour without the Wide Screen TV's, Under Floor heating, play Stations and motel type conditions. This type of thing can be used only for petty criminals, not the hardened meat heads. Those that want to be rehabilitated get the goods, the others get Container cells wired away from all other prisoners.

Unfortunately no matter how obvious the truth, and what the facts actually say, there is no reasoning with the rabid, mouth breathing retards that automatically support anything that either puts brown people in prison, takes money off poor people or generally makes life worse for people less fortunate than them.

Look up the facts. Every time we have a prolonged sensible Govt like Labour, crime and unemployment stay down. Every time we have idiots like National in power, both go up. You can look it up on the national stats website.

Has the fool got a learning deficiency? This is the same sort of wet arse socialist crap that got him and his like the boot last election. If it costs a few dollars to lock mongrels away so be it. It would be a lot cheaper, sigh, to neck stretch a few of the more deserving individuals.

This guy is a real winner isn't he.
I hope Labour keep him on.

And how much of their sentence to they only have to serve now days.

The change isn't meant to put a substantial amount in prison Goff, I thought any moron could understand it's purpose is to make sure the worst of the worst are not released to continue their criminal way as happened too often in the past 9 years

My thoughts exactly Glenn, all violent crime and child abuse rose under Labour
