How would you deal with this young scamp?
Discussion
I like the idea of exporting our criminals to whatever 3rd country will take them in return for "aid". As long as it costs less than whatever it would cost to feed them and home them here, I can't see any issues.
We could even ship them to whatever hellhole will take them by using the Army's air transport division and dropping them in by parachute.
Those parachutes could be er... modified accordingly so that only 50% or less will actually survive the fall. The other option is cheaper and would involve telling some 3rd world dictatorship that we're invading and will be dropping our people in by parachute. Get the locals to use the crims as target practice as they come down. Only snag is potential damage to the plane that's dropping them off.

Sign him up to what and ship him out where..?The Forces can't abide thieves and noone wants to be in a firefight next to an untrustworthy person.

Or better still, cut off his head so he cannot even THINK about stealing anything."Given a flat" - Thats where they went wrong. Some people are beyond help.
He puts it like this. We cant bang him up for ten years, its against his basic right to be a scrote, we cant inflict coporal punishment as thats against his human rights, and if we were to ship him to afghanistan, holy f
k, the government would be right up st creak with the likes of blairs missus defending him to the hilt against the evil opressors. Now unfortunately i like others think, well what about the victims rights, so it seems they dont have any, and who the hell are we to deny him a free flat to base his criminal plans from, and how dare we even think about stopping his dole.Sad, but this is how britain is going i'm afraid
I suppose there's an economy of scale here.
An average of 2.9 days jail per burglary. Assuming he actually serves the whole 5 years.
If we sentenced him to 600 separate jail terms for 2.9 days each, it would cost a fortunes just admitting and releasing him.
He has averaged a burglary every 4.8 days, presumably the rate of crime to generate sufficient income.
Since the income lasted longer than the sentence for stealing it, I conclude that his crimes have paid, even without early release.
If the Judge was going to teach him anything it should have been long enough to ensure crime doesn't pay.

Prolific or not - 5 years for burglary - thats a bit stiff.
Not at all.It's not like you can accidentally commit burglary. It's a sh!tty thing to do and perhaps if penalties were a bit stiffer ther would be less of it.
I take you've never been burgled?
d should have been tied to a pole in the town where he comitted the thefts and all the victims of his misdeeds allowed to give him one paper cut each.Doesn't sound like much? Tell me, for each offence there could be a whole family affected. A few thousand paper cuts would be torturous.
He's no worse than the other burgling scum, it's just the the idiot law allowed him to do what he wanted for 5 years. IMO the first burglary - or rather, the first time caught - should be 2 years (assuming no violence), the next 5 years and the next life. Why not? It's not like you can accidentally go out and commit a burglary, or get caught up in a bit of a burglary when you walk down the street. Even with 5 years he got off lightly. Anybody tries to rob me and they'll end up in a suitcase at the bottom of a quarry.

This is the official rule but IIRC it is usually a warning and not actually done for a first or very young offender. A repeat offence results in a kicking round the back of the police station and a stern warning. Keep on doing this, or do it in a high profile way that can't be ignored, and they really will cut your hand off.He won't be knicking anything in jail though, at least not from us.
