In reply to Ms Brown's letter Sentences are far too harsh' (Croydon Guardian, February 2) about the sentences regarding the football riots and criminal damage.
We have been crying out to the courts for ages to get tough on crime and at long last they have and that's the answer to everyone's prayer.
We all have to obey the laws of the land, they are there for our protection.
