数据显示,犯罪比去年同期增长 80%

上周墨尔本地区发生多起劫车事件,对比去年同期,劫车案件暴增 80%。

 

人们已无法像从前一般在路上自在的开车,现今他们需担心青少年帮派持械撞车打劫。

 

或许这样的情景会发生在第三世界国家,但不应该发生在墨尔本。

 

墨尔本原是个美好和平的城市,政府需改变对罪犯过度的纵容,停止对警力的裁撤,停止让社区矫正令 (Community correction order) 取代应有的刑责、停止青少年保释法过度的鬆散,更需让可能违法之人清楚明白,犯罪会面临真正对应的刑责,而非不痛不痒的判决。

Violent car-jackings continue

 

In the last week there have been more violent car-jackings across Melbourne, with car robberies up by 80 per cent in the past year.

 

People can’t even drive on our streets in their own car without risking being rammed, attacked and robbed by an armed gang of violent youths.

 

This is what you might expect in a lawless third-world country, not in Melbourne.

 

The Victorian government’s soft on crime approach has got to change. We have to end the police cuts, end the weakening of juvenile bail laws, end the watering down of community correction orders, and let would-be offenders know that they will face real consequences for their crimes, not just a slap over the wrist.
