Nope - just reading the court reports in the Irish Times and the odd bit of TV news. Do you really, really think that if you lock up the current generation of drug dealers that all sales of illegal drugs will just stop?
I agree with this. But to argue that locking up the current criminals will lead to even worse violence is just, frankly, nonsense! I mean, follow that arguement through with rapists, murderers etc. and see where it goes...You just need to look at the escalating violence in our society and news reports to see the shift in age vs level of violence.
Indeed. So I suggest we lock them up.There ARE more younger & more violent criminals out there, and its very scary.

The logic of what you are saying is that if you lock up every single criminal, then ordinary law abiding folk will morph into younger and more violent criminals to fill the gap. Ultimately it means you are suggesting that, depending on how many people are locked up, we are all potentially dangerous criminals. I dont buy this. I dont see myself ever morphing into a dangerous criminal even if half the country is locked up.
Where did i say any of that???

In suspending the sentence, Judge Ryan said the court had taken into account Harcourt's good employment record, his standing in the community, his early plea of guilty and testimonials to his good character.
She also said the court noted Harcourt's personal circumstances, in that his drug-addicted mother died in 2001, leaving his sister, who was 15 years old at the time, to raise him.
