It's just to say that I absolutely agree with you and I wonder if there may be a case for asking the Counsel General if he would review why there's been so few prosecutions. Going back to my ABMU case, year after year they've had the highest number of assaults and the least number of prosecutions. So, I think you're absolutely right in identifying that something, somewhere is going wrong and we have to send out a strong message that it's not acceptable to assault people.
