YOUR GRADUATE?
Look to the
Honda CT-70
This mini bike loves the dirt. And it's built to take all the
punishment the dirt can dish out.
The 72 cc, 4-stroke, single cylinder, overhead cam engine
works with a 3-speed transmission and automatic clutch.
The handlebars fold down—so it's easy to move to where
the dirt is.
Kids from six to sixty find it
easy to operate...and more darned
fun would be hard to find.

be clearly demonstrated, along with several
other criteria, then the person can be charged
as a dangerouS offender and sent to prison for
an indefinite period of time, up to and
including life imprisonment.
Unfortunately, such criteria cannot be
written into legislation without making such
definitions so broad as to allow for many
individuals to be improperly labelled as
"dangerous" or so narrow so as to make it
useless and unsuable. Experience with our
current legislatkin -' the dangerous sexual
offender and the habitual offender legislation
- has clearly demonstrated this inability.
The problem of the "potentially dangerous
offender" is one of the more difficult
problems to solve. Unlike • most other
problems, few solutions are even being
suggested. The John Howard Society and
myself have no suggestions either.
' Perhaps we can gain some consolation from
the fact that dangerous crimes make up a
small proportion of all crimes (less than 15%);
and the most recent statistics indicate that the
rate of increase of violent crimes over the past
four years has remained constant and is lower
than the rate of increase of all other types of
crime.
Aet'S assume that the woman was a bad shot

men,-.'especially in the: year after the year of
the •Woman) anddidn'thit anyone. It would be
alinostimposSihle to proye that she actually
intended to kill anyone. After all, she was only
trying to, "scare" people, wasn't she? So the
charges upon which she could be convicted
Would be less serious charges and 'subject to

Getting: a gun would be no problem.
But what can •anyone do about it? The
mental health system can't force 'her, to enter
treatment because she doesn't fit the legal
definition which would allow certification.
Furthermore, many psychiatrists believe you
cannot force treatment on someone who
doesn't want it.
The police and court system can't arrest her
because she hasn't done anything else that is
illegal.
The prOblem is what might she do in the
future. This means we must be able to predict
