I READ with interest the item on whether Asbos are the best way to deal with offenders, by James Patrick (Oxford Mail, July 24), and the letter Unfair ASBO from Jonny Cowee.

Having read them, I wondered if I was living in a different world to them but I then realised I was living in their world – a world of political correctness, which finds someone else to blame when things go wrong and doesn’t let people take any responsibility for their own actions.

I unfortunately had to deal with J Andranelli on a daily basis over a considerable amount of time.

I wonder how many thousands of pounds he has cost this country in benefits, wasted medical treatment and police and legal costs.

Hopefully for the people of Oxford who live in my world, he will be dealt with appropriately.
