Some dumbshits actually tried calling for those in my neck of the woods a few times, usually around election times since the conservatives campaign mainly on artificial crime statistics.

We're lucky right now - nasty neighborhood near mine's starting to clean up after they started up a really nice community centre-sort of thing there and the senior-scaring got ugly enough in the last election that I think people are actually feeling guilty about their attitudes towards kids - but it depresses me how common the attitude is that anyone under the age of twenty-five or so should just be presupposed to be a criminal or worse. Especially when it's defended with BS arguments about everyone being everyone else's keeper.
