Norway is indeed a great example to put our own lawmakers to absolute shame in terms of the sheer immaturity of their response to the riots.

Equally appalling has been the punitive, 'tabloid-hugging' behaviour of the courts. This is playing out like a rerun of Policing the Crisis, Hall et al's seminal account of the frenzied reaction to a supposed 'epidemic' of 1970s black street crime. If there are 'moral' questions for British society to ask itself, these should be about the slow erosion of our pursuit of solidarity and equality...

A sense of social awareness and collective responsibility for the wellbeing of society seems worryingly scarce these days.

Complete abdication of any sense of collective parenting. Just blame on individual parents. And I do believe that it takes a village to grow up a child - (complex, extended, and disfunctional a 'village' we live in). And a hard line on punishment only ever has a chance of being effective within a secure, strong circle of LOVE.
