I know teens who were convicted of drug trafficing and robbery and got a few hours of community work and a curfew for a few months (unless they had to work to buy more games so they wouldn't get bored during curfew). They then turned 18 and and that was the end of it.

Some truth, but at the start of it all is the parents or more accurately lack of. I remember a time when my 14 year old (at the time) threatened to call child services, I can't remember the reason but I had probably cuffed him one up side the head. I turned to him and tossed him the phone and said ' enjoy your new the foster home' Needless to say no call was made.
The art of instilling the healthy fear of punishment and a high expectation of respect to parents has been lost in today's parenting and parents can only blame themselves. If started at a young age and CONTINUED' as kids grow older alot of today's issues of kids and a total lack of respect for anything other themselves could be avoided.
I hate time outs, a swift two smacks to a bare butt gets alot more results....Oh ya and bring back the strap to schools.
