Rejected petition Those convicted of gang related crimes receive national service

More details

To combat the gang mentality of 'a sense of belonging', why not enroll those who are convicted of 'gang related crimes' into 1-2 years national service.

Not only will this help to teach young offenders a sense of pride and respect, it will avoid the jail system which is following the US stereotype of 'bad in worse out'

Thank you for reading, I hope you feel the same way as I do.
