""Families of violent criminals should lose their council homes to help combat the rise in knife crime , a Tory MP has suggested. Victoria Atkins, a Home Office minister, says evicting violent offenders from social housing would deter young people from becoming involved in a life of gangs." . Is that a good idea or bad idea?" Bad idea. Just a really stupid idea that wont work and create futher problems. So now homeless sleeping on the streets. Brilliant just the inspiration a youngster needs to be a law abbiding citizen | |||

"No. Because it doesn’t address the root causes of why people get involved with gangs. (Also, a Fab improvement I’d like is an edit button for the same duration of time as the delete button)" Yes and yes | |||

"Bit harsh on the family that live there. Be a better deterrent if they lock the crims up for longer." You might be surprised by the statistics for reoffending, I haven’t checked recently but I doubt they’ll have improved much | |||

"This is where politicians are so out of touch, they have no clue about gang dynamics and why kids can fall into such crimes. Tackle the issue at source. Support the families, don't evict them. Not all kids suckered into gangs and crime come from maladaptive households, some come from very loving and stable environments, why disjoint that stability. Harsher sentences, for the criminals. Or bring back National Service, if they want to play violent games allow them to play the ultimate violent gang game." Wonder if there are any studies that track the level of violent crime against countries that have National Service and those that don’t It would be interesting read lol | |||

Absolutely I cannot understand how they are allowed expenses in the first place If I try to claim living expenses the HMRC tax me for the pleasure Like any job they know they will be working away before taking on the job. So should not be paid for it The rest of “Worker” do not have the same liberties | |||

"It's interesting to me that living in council or social housing has been demonised recently. Both of us grew up in council houses as did most of our friends. It seems to be viewed as an achievement to have come from such a background and live a life similar to those whose parents could afford a mortgage. I would find it amusing if it didn't play into this idea that anyone who has less than a certain income must be either a criminal or at least responsible for most of the bad things that happen in the world." Actually the stereotype is that 90% of people living on council estates are fine and 10% are so bad that they drag down the entire estate. So quite far away from what you're saying. | |||

" No I genuinely think that the government are daft enough to think that kids will turn their backs on gangs because they fear their parents being evicted. They don't have a clue about the reasons kids end up in gangs or how to tackle it. The agenda if demonising the poor has been a very clear and deliberate policy though to make people believe that we need austerity and to scapegoat people as if they are to blame | |||

"After reading through the thread , we have on the one hand a poster saying we need to give the perpetrators well paid jobs , and a future . On the other we have multiple people saying bring back national service , and penalise the families too . What has the world come to ? Perhaps the families are in some way to blame . We have a culture now that protects the kids from virtually any punishment as they grow up now . Human rights this , human rights that , don’t dare shout at the dear little child . Instead of punishment we offer treats and incentives for them to behave . Well I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t work does it ? The kids that join the gangs and deal drugs etc... do it because the punishment in no way deters them from joining . The pressure the vulnerable are put under by the older kids is way stronger than the deterrent society and their families offer . Simple as that . So unless things change is some way or another it’ll just get worse and worse , and I certainly won’t be surprised . Do I think it’s right for the worst offenders to lose their social housing ? It’s a start I guess , and I actually think the reasoning behind it s to move them away from the area they are committing the crime in . The parents have to take some responsibility for raising the vermin that drag vulnerable kids into the world of drug dealing , knife crime and murder . They must have some idea what’s going on in their own homes . So if they get moved from London to Carlisle at least the offenders aren’t a part of the gang culture any more . I would feel pretty bad for Carlisle though ! I’ll probably get slated for these opinions , but at the end of the day I’m of a generation where there was punishment for crimes , and I despair at times when I see nothing being done to deter this kind of thing from happening ." Can i just say, regarding national service, that the Army is a professional fighting force and not some boot camp to reform chavs. The army doesn't want these people and it's not their job to take them either. | |||

"Should benefit cheats lose their council houses.Should those on the sex offenders register lose the right to council houses. Do we need a new set of rules to define citizenship and entitlement to council services.Should any criminal activities prevent you or your family having any entitlement to council services and housing." Go on, just Google the original context. It'll answer most your questions. | |||

""Families of violent criminals should lose their council homes to help combat the rise in knife crime , a Tory MP has suggested. Victoria Atkins, a Home Office minister, says evicting violent offenders from social housing would deter young people from becoming involved in a life of gangs." . Is that a good idea or bad idea?" Two issues I can see with this straight away. Firstly,it will push a family,already possibly not doing too well,even further into difficulties (homelessness,poverty,deprivation). There is definitely a correlation,even if not causation,between poverty, alienation and crime. Secondly,it is a punishment for the innocent. By all means,punish the offenders but,their families too?? That is not any form of justice that any decent person would recognise,surely. | |||

"After just a quick look at UK law sites - the law allows seizing of property, including owned homes, if the house dweller is convicted of crimes of a sufficient magnitude. Private landlords are also allowed to do this. As far as I can see, local councils are also counted as landlords, so why shouldn't they also have the ability to evict people in these circumstances? What about the rights of the residents living in neighbouring houses? Don't they have the right to live in relatively crime-free areas?" If the criminals have paid for the homes using profits from their crimes. This is about using the loss of someone's home, if one of the family is involved, but only if they rent from the council. If they private rent, or rent from a housing association, the threat doesn't include them. | |||

"So to solve the problem they move a gang member and his family out of London, I'd be fuming if they moved next to me or surrounding area, What's stopping him from joining another local gang and showing them how its done down in London, We have enough wanna be gangsters we don't need another, Drugs,knives and guns, Deal/use them and you go away for a very long time " Of course you'd be fuming. But what about if you are already one the unfortunate neighbours of a gang member? Should you be moved out or be forced through circumstance to live next to a potential threat to you and your family? | |||

And without the insults or air of superiority Thanks for the clarification But I think this thread has reminded me why the mods so often advise people to ignore those that they don't get on with and I think I'll go back to doing just that | |||

"So to solve the problem they move a gang member and his family out of London, I'd be fuming if they moved next to me or surrounding area, What's stopping him from joining another local gang and showing them how its done down in London, We have enough wanna be gangsters we don't need another, Drugs,knives and guns, Deal/use them and you go away for a very long time Of course you'd be fuming. But what about if you are already one the unfortunate neighbours of a gang member? Should you be moved out or be forced through circumstance to live next to a potential threat to you and your family?" Moving the problem family or family member around won't solve the issue, Maybe for their previous neighbours but what about the next | |||

When you move to a new area then that's the perfect time for a fresh start. It's very hard to leave a gang once they know where you live. I a new city then they aren't going to come knocking for you. | |||

But as it stands, I can't see any other short term fixes. Most of what people have said on here are long term solutions. Gangs are notorious for preventing people leaving. Once they know where you lived, you're fucked really. Obviously this policy can't solve the whole problem, but the problem won't go away on its own. | |||

"Daft idea.Youll have to rehouse the entire family at greater cost.You are also punishing the siblings by moving them from their school and also this family will probably moved out of their inner city neighbourhood causing huge upheaval if the parents work. A collective punishment is always a terrible idea." Wouldn’t have to re house as they would more than likely be considered as intentionally homeless | |||

"Daft idea.Youll have to rehouse the entire family at greater cost.You are also punishing the siblings by moving them from their school and also this family will probably moved out of their inner city neighbourhood causing huge upheaval if the parents work. A collective punishment is always a terrible idea. Lol, as if the parent(s) work Never assume. Also would you be in favour of collective punishment on white collar crime?Which crimes should we punish parents and siblings ? Are we going the North Korea route where 3 generations must be punished collectively I bet you haven't read the full context of the MPs original statement, have you? I bet you can't list another white collar crime you feel a collective punishment is required. The OP did a thread about a kid who broke a shitty statue the other day and right until the end of it, people kept posting without even understanding that the boy wasn't in a fecking art gallery. This thread is the same. It's not collective punishment because it ain't their fucking house. They simply stop receiving a privilege, not having their own property taken away. Try harder. So a family of 4 in social housing. Parents hold down jobs, 1 kid is straight A, the other us completely out of control. It's okay to take the home away and not a collective punishment in that scenario? Oh and before you say 'well that would never happen' it does. Have you read the original context or not? I'm just asking you to explain how a family losing their home because of 1 child's actions isn't "collective punishment"... That's another 'No' then. Thanks for clarifying. It amazes me that a you are ignoring a question about what you posted and asking nothing more than you expand on it by belittling people asking the question. I don't what to Google anything. I don't need to Google anything. I asked a question about your post which for reasons I can't understand you seem to want to deflect away from I know you prefer to talk about a completely abstract world, but context matters. If you knew the context then you wouldn't ask fictious questions. Perhaps you could explain the context. So basically there's a part of north London where 14 rival gangs are all kicking off and it's a hell hole for everyone living there. This is actually a policy being trialled by the local council there because the situation is never going to get better unless their wait for enough people in the gangs to commit crimes and go to prison, or better still, break them up and physically seperate them. The 'friendships' people form in gangs are not real friendships and simply won't last over a long distance relationship. But the council can't force them to move under the current set of laws. At present, all the gang members know where each other live and so leaving them is literally impossible because they'll turn up on your doorstep. As i mentioned earlier, no judge will stick a family with an under 16 on the street (believe me, I've tried) and and so the reality is that that council will do a swap with another council at the other end of the country. Of course the looney lefties who can't be arsed to fact check, would just prefer the gang war went on until everyone is dead or in prison. So it is collective punishment.Thanks I know the looney left think that if they chant a slogan enough times then it makes it true, but I'm afriad it doesn't. Every tenancy agreement has preconditions and this is a perfectly reasonable one. What's your short term solution to this gang war? You don't have one. You just say " Oh well if we spend more money on youth services then it'll be better in 15 years". Until then, the residents have to live in hell.

"Families get evicted from social housing everyday. I've seen families evicted because the kids were running riot on the streets. I've also seen a family evicted because they didn't know how to turn the stereo down. So it does happen ever day of the week,it's nothing new." Yet, if you own your own house they can only confiscate your equipment. | |||

"London councils are already socially cleansing parts of London. This would be just another way of doing it. " What makes you say that? The biggest trend is that white people are moving out to and commuting in for work. But that's nothing to do with councils. | |||
