Tough On Crime - Tough On The Causes Of Crime


A thug who viciously beat up his girlfriend has walked free - after a female judge sent him on an anger management course.

Andrew Grainger, 38, repeatedly attacked Dawn Harper, dragged her by her hair, slashed her with a knife, and nearly starngled her over SIX years.

For some reason, her Honour Judge Carr, for some reason, saw fit to give Grainger, a jobless drunk, and father of 5 by two previous partners, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, a suspended jail term.

His ex girlfriend Dawn, miscarried twice after the beatings, said "What has he got to do before they lock him up - kill someone? The courts have let me down."

A spokesman for the battered women's charity, Refuge, said " It's ludicrously lenient."

"Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
