Should bikie gangs be banned or outlawed?

Answer 1

Now, in relation to this new so called anti-bikie legislation, I must be missing something! The government seems to be trying to convince the public that due to some percentage of club members being involved or having previously been involved in illegal activities that the whole club should be tarred with the same brush and classified as a criminal organisation. Have I got it right so far? Okay then, so what percentage of the police force needs to be proven to be corrupt or convicted of illegal activities before they are classified as a criminal organisation and shut down for the good of society? The latest apparently, is that two of the fu***** in Victoria are being investigated for the sexual assault of a woman during the recent bushfires! Words fail me on that one I`m afraid. Then of course we have the football clubs and their gang rapes and drug taking and alcohol fuelled violence, it all seems to happen pretty regularly, so we better classify them as criminal organisations as well. My biggest concern is what will happen to what is left of our society if the fools do manage to wipe out the "outlaw" clubs. Who or what will then act as a barrier between the scum and dregs of society and the scrawny blue line? These scum and dregs have no fear of, or respect for the police or the law, and as I see it about the only thing that stops them from unleashing a state of anarchy and complete chaos is the outlaw motorcycle clubs. I hope someone in power can get their feeble mind around this concept before it`s too late. Actually I doubt the country would be any worse off if they locked up all the jacks and distributed their badges to the clubs! THESE ARE NOT MY OWN WORDS THESE ARE THE WORDS I "QUOTE" FROMM A BIKIE MEMBER HIMSELF

Answer 2

Banning or outlawing bikie gangs may not be an effective solution as it could drive them underground, making it harder for law enforcement to monitor their activities. Instead, addressing the root causes of gang membership, such as poverty and lack of opportunities, may be more beneficial in reducing gang presence and crime rates. Efforts to disrupt their criminal activities through targeted law enforcement actions and community engagement may also be more productive in addressing the issue.
