SIR - Are all the suspended prison sentences (let offs) the result of an EU directive or us having not enough prisons and a government supposedly tough on crime not caring for victims?
The increase in sentences both for animal abuse and six months for carrying acid are a joke as they will not be enforced.
Until we have a punishment that is a punishment, crime will keep rising and it is a lie to say it is not.
