The Brussels Post, 1976-06-16, Page 19LOOKING FOR A GIFT FOR 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. = _ rga y.,„ • -'11111kirl - Itir_tL. You're ahead oil a Honda. LYNN .HOY ENTERPRISES.

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.

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?

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 „ (By David Kennedy) • The PeaCe and.
