Lock 'em up I say!

America goes farther than any other "advanced" nation in terms of treating juveniles as adults within the "justice" system. Those other countries that do not will surely feel vindicated by the news that it just doesn't work, in fact it makes these youths more violent. Over to the wingnuts to spin this one.

Whilst we are on the subject perhaps we should do our bit to get the US to sign up to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. I don't know about you but I don't find Somalia to be very good company.
