The 'get tough on gangs' idea

[Lilith7]

A rebellious stand in the world and a non-conforming lifestyle will always be attractive to some male and female members of society no matter what they have in the way of worldly goods or lack of and advantages/disadvantages.

Humans are evolved to look for challenges and search for them if they are not present.

Rebel without a cause.

A bit of understanding would go a long way to keep the peace in a fair society (a fair society is the biggest problem, as we are seeing right now).

Absolutely; a fair society is what's needed & the lack of which thanks to Neo Liberalism, is the cause of much of today's unfair society. 

And it isn't just here in NZ but in other countries whch also went the neo Liberal way, to their cost. In the UK, the much loved NHS has been virtually gutted.

"Nobody's told you, but the government’s Health and Social Care Act has legally abolished the NHS. On the surface, it appears that nothing has changed. You can still see your GP or go to hospital and receive care free at the point of delivery. But behind the scenes, something else is going on: the NHS is being privatised.
As a GP in Tower Hamlets, I want to tell my patients what’s really going on. Over the last 30 years, successive governments have dismantled our national health service – and here’s how they did it.


1. Create a Market
Ken Clarke, Health Secretary under Margaret Thatcher, got the ball rolling by introducing a market into the NHS. This introduced competition by turning hospital trusts into providers of services and GP/Community trusts into purchasers of services."

2. Introduce Public-Private partnerships
3. Facilitate the Corporate Takeover
4. Install a Revolving Door
5. Organise a Great Big Sell Off
6. Run a Smear Campaign
7. Legislate for the Dismantling of the NHS
8. Plot Against the NHS
9. Brew the Perfect Storm
10. Introduce Universal Private Health Insurance"
