Leave them kids alone. Evils' to play in the schoolyard and not Scotland Yard. Evils justs wants to nip to the bogs-loo, Sir. No worries. Please excuse the tardys to the tutors. All the saucy pr0n snaps and sex with teachers has the poor little tyke knackered. So don't be having Evils round to the Headmaster again anytime soon. And please don't mark Evils for a future roll model until Evils' a chuffed graduate and can pass matrickulation.
Evils' Inq bleedeth red, sorely.

How can you guys make fun of the USA with Britain doing stuff like that.

c'mon Nick, you know the caning was fair. You were guilty of something, the teacher just didn't know exactly what, is all.

In the finest policing traditions...

I'd advise any criminal in the UK, even before being in the db, to make sure that after each crime he/she burns down the place and leave no witnesses, so it seems to me that this kind of thing only increases the violence and damage to property in the end.
Not that the fascist that think up these things would care about that of course.

Why not rename the whole program to the Dept. of PreCrime? Should sell well!

Should I feel the urge to commit a planned crime my first task would be to visit a hairdressers and collect samples from the bin.
Depositing these at the scene of my proposed crime should get at least another 100 suspects called up et voila another expensive crime busting technique reduced to ashes.
Anyone patented 'police on the beat' yet?

If these kids are so evil, why not brand them with a large E on the forehead so we can all be warned when they turn up?

A silly idea? It's really no different to putting their DNA into a database in preparation for their eventual crimes.
