Should National Service be reintroduced in the UK?Having worked with offenders for most of my working life, I've often thought how a 'modern day'National Service would have helped the majority of the young men and women involved in the criminal justice system. I feel that some young people don't have the positive role models in their lives, thus allowing the negative influences of others to set in. Giving a person a sense of purpose, pride, belonging and responsibility, has tendency of developing empathy and consideration for others. And finally, should National Service ever return, it's focus should be to introduce our young UK residents to the rewarding work within the nations struggling NHS, Social Services and voluntary sectors. Having our young adults having experience the plight and needs of other, may help take them beyond themselves.
