Rejected petition Courts should have the power to impose a sentence of Military Service on violent disruptive youths

More details

Community Service as a punishment is clearly not working. Courts should be able to impose a sentence of up to 5 years Military Service on violent disruptive offenders (such as recent rioters) This would provide them with the discipline they are obviously lacking as well as a chance to repay the nation for their actions
