I do believe that the asbo's should be abolished. It is giving moaning neighbours more power. I have been reported for being a nuisance, for watching my television quietly, for having a clock radio to go to sleep to, on number 3 I might had, for flushing my toilet if I need to get up in the night. And also everytime my son walked down the street with a football on his way to the park, if he kicked it I was also reported on numerous accasions. My son was threatened with an asbo. I might also add that on one accasion their were 16 childrens playing football in my street and just around the corner...No one else gets reported. Get rid of the asbo's i say.

I am an adult criminal and I would like to go to an adult friendly court..

peter, newcastle,

In my view, the public must be protected from the those who cause harm whether they are adults or children. The rights of the harm causing children should not infringe those of the law abiding general public.

I would like to think that a leading Q.C and chairman of the criminal bar association would have some idea what she was talking about Bob.

"Child friendly" courts? Sounds completely ludicrous - the serious impercussions of certain crimes must be made known to the offender, no matter how young - we only need to look at the recent gun crime by youngsters to see that. The possible introduction of child friendly courts only takes away from that and leads to the illusion that they are less responsible and a different class. I'm not a Conservative but Thatcher said it - Crime is crime is crime.

ASBOs are ridiculous and oppressive. If the law has been broken, deal with the culprit under the law. Applying an ASBO, complete with criminal sanctions, for behaviour that is not illegal by itself is, in my view, completely unjust.

The concepts of "social" or "anti-social" behaviour, totally subjective definitions, should be expected to be found only within a totalitarian dictatorship. As far as the law is concerned, there should only be legal and illegal behaviour. Whether you like it or not, the former is acceptable.

It is always important when listening to anyone's point of view to consider whether they have any vested interest. This woman, like many in her profession, has made quite a bit of money ensuring our streets are full of drug dealers and murderers.

Why should we listen to someopne who's moral standards will be akin to the idiots we have outside our doors ensuring that our chidren remain prisoners in their own homes who cant go out to play. It is sickeinng enough that modern day barristers have forgetten their duty to the courts and to the truth, and destroyed justice in this country whilst working; and often later as judges, without having to read their ill founded and ultimately dishonest opinions on the system they have created which is bereft of justicve for the law abiding citizens of this country.

ASBO'S are another thing the government has invented on the road to a totalitarian police state, sure we need to find ways of dealing with the problems we have in our country, this is not the way.

I would sugest the government improve schools and social services, flatten sink estates and give folk decent housing instead of treating the people worse than animals.

Civil unrest, crime and so on comes from people having nothing and no hope, why do people turn drugs.

Again because of no hope,, we need to provide decent jobs, give folk a sense of pride and things will change.

Ok the goverment says it has no money for this, this is a total lie, if it stops buying guns and bombs to opress and kll folk abroad there is lots of cash.

Wake up Britain before it's to late.

We do not need "child friendly" courts. We need "victim friendly" courts.

James L Wilkie, Torpoint,

Oh my God, another do-gooder in a position of power to mess things up even more than they are all ready. Come and live in the real world please. The police are powerless enough to deal with these idiots, they use every trick in the book, and she want to make it easier for them. I despair at this country.

Bob Cullen, London,

Yes introduce child friendly courts but also allow children to be prosecuted as adults under certain circumstances. Canada allows this on a case by case basis for teenagers who have committed serious offences.
