How much time did the parole board spend at university studying, how many degrees did they attain between them to gain the wisdom to reach such a decision, to release a double murdering sexually deviant psychopath out into the community? Thank God somebody used some common sense and recalled the monster back behind bars where he belongs.

Even the most basically educated folks amongst us (and I include myself here) would presumably have the common sense at least to realise this wasn't a good idea.
I often wonder if the people who sanction this type of thing have any clue as to what the potential consequences of their actions might be. They can't have, they just can't.
It's fucking ludicrous.

I'm all for rehabilitation but I do not feel it is possible for sexual deviants. The sexual urge is one of the strongest humans possess. If what gets your rocks off is flashing, stalking, rape and murder a few years in prison isn't going to take that urge away. Pitchfork admitted he just told people what they wanted to hear so he would be released. That parole board are lucky they haven't got at least one more death on their conscience.

You're probably right mate, but it does seem awfully counter intuitive to dish out shorter sentences, especially to a layman like me. I suspect a lot of the public would agree.
I can't agree with your gambling analogy either, gambling is a terrible addiction, crime isn't. I know you weren't comparing the actual acts, just the thought process, but even so...
I haven't got the answers bud, but I do know this. The world would be a better place if the likes of this scumbag never saw the light of day again.

In some instances it is. Kleptomania?

Old and experienced bank robbers attempting heists where the likelihood of them being caught is so high, it is irrational to go ahead. But they still do?

Maybe they want the adrenaline and the thrill more than just the bag of swag?

It has nothing to do with university education.

The parole boards carry out an assessment based on the current laws of the land and the sentence given to the prisoner.

I wonder how many university degrees the “somebody with common sense“ had to make their decision to recall him.

All it has done is expose your random dislike of education and your penchant for discipline.

How can a criminal justice system with even the remotest sniff of intellect deem a molester and murderer of little girls to be eligible for parole. Life to mean life and if not then debate is surely needed for the return of the measured drop to ensure the safety of the populace.

Regarding crime in general and the lax treatment of criminality that infests every pore of our society. I would like to see heavier sentencing focusing more squarely on protecting the law abiding rather than worrying about the rehabilitation off persistent offenders. And no time off for good behaviour which should be replaced with more time added on for bad behaviour. Build the prisons and they will come!

We have already been doing the thing you want in the 1st paragraph, sentences handed out for like-for-like offences have been climbing upwards for thirty years.




The 2nd paragraph was the system in place before we started giving time off for good behaviour, it didnt work prisoners rioted and each time someone commits an offence inside they have to have a quasi-judicial prison hearing or go back to court.

Both systems are already overstretched.

Has it really? Why on earth would I dislike education? You're sidetracking the point, that is somebody like Pitchfork should never be released. If that is me expressing a penchant for discipline then yes I'm more than happy with that. As for the person, or people that decided to recall him well done! It doesn't detract from the fact the parole board made a monumental error in releasing him, as did the judge for not imposing a whole life tariff when the monster was sentenced

No that Colin just sent his teams out to commit crimes against football.
