'Intimidating' teenager banned from Forest Fields area
A 16-YEAR-OLD has been banned from entering Forest Fields after intimidating residents and business owners.
The teenager, who cannot be named, was previously issued with an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) which forbade him from entering certain streets.
-
However, he continued to break the order and has now been banned from the area completely.
Richard Antcliff, head of Community Protection, said: "Since the court order was put in place, he continued to breach the conditions and appeared before the courts on many occasions receiving further conditions and prohibitions.

"Due to his continued offending, his parents hoped that breaking contact with those he was prohibited from associating with would control his behaviour.
"Over the following period of time, his offending behaviour did, however, escalate, particularly within the Forest Fields area, and became a further concern due to its criminal nature."
At Nottingham Magistrates' Courthe was convicted of stealing a laptop from a house in a street he was banned from. He was given a six-month electronic curfew, ordered to pay £325 in costs, and given a further three-year Anti-Social Behaviour Order upon Conviction (CRASBO) which prohibits him from entering the entire Forest Fields area.

“At the age of 16 he is still a minor and so his parents should be stood in court next to him, perhaps this will help them become firmer with their rules and punishments and prevent him re-offending.”

“Another failure by the UK justice system to the people of the UK. Why can't the government and the justice system understand the punishments they are imposing do not work - oh yes perhaps its to do with the £320 tin fines they just collected from him rather than the costs it would impose on the government to send him to jail.
His ASBO didn't work the first time so lets give him another one! Great idea judge, and we trust in these people or are supposed to, to bring us justice for crimes commited against us.
Bring on the revolution, a new government and certainly a new justice system.

“"Since the court order was put in place, he continued to breach the conditions and appeared before the courts on many occasions receiving further conditions and prohibitions"
When dealing with people (especially children) with regard to the consequences of misbehaviour, it is essential that :
1] Clear conditions should be set regarding what is and is not acceptable and is punishable
2] The consequences of failure to adhere, should be cleary defined i.e. The punishment
Never threaten a punishment that will not or cannot be carried out
3] Any punishment defined, MUST be administered, or all respect will be lost.
4] The punishment must fit the crime
5] There should be incentives and resources for the subject to rehabilitate.
It would seem that the people responsible for administering discipline and punishment do not know even these basic principles.”

“"time we had some proper punishment in this country before the streets are roaming with vigalanties doing what the pathetic out of touch judges should do."
English vigiliantes ?
In terms of standing up for justice you'd have a job getting English people nowadays to even go to the foot of their stairs.”

"what do you have to do to be locked up these days??"
Fail to pay your taxes, withhold council tax..in fact anything that deprives local or central government of funds ought to do it Dave as they won't stand for the money drying up...
Commit a crime against 'ordinary' folk though and chances are you'll avoid seeing the inside of a cell.”
