Resume National Service for youths convicted of committing crime.
A petition to the Government to resume National Service for youths convicted of crime. In the light of the London and regional riots, and subsequent looting, it has become apparent that a number of younger members of our society (both male and female) have a blatant disregard for our communities and property, plus a total lack of respect for anything but themselves. By reintroducing National Service, any youth convicted of a serious anti-social crime (or repeat offender) will be conscripted to the Armed Forces for a minimum period of two years. Not only will the offender learn both respect and discipline, they will also (and importantly) be in a position to take advantage of many career enhancing opportunities that our exceptional forces have to offer.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
