Recently described as a ‘cottage industry’, it’s become quite clear it’s much bigger – costing the tax payer millions in fees per year, with some very dubious players involved in the writing of these reports.
Sadly more often than not, it’s an easy way for those being convicted of crimes to make up excuses as to why they are offending, attempting to allow the offender to become the victim.
So often these reports have a similar theme which relates to family and long standing childhood issues.
Well here is a thought – if parents and family members are the reason why the offending has occurred, then let’s charge the parents as well for their criminal offending against their children and family members.
Sadly it’s an all too common theme of drugs , alcohol , violence and sexual abuse.
This country clearly has a long standing problem with taking personal responsibility.
