Interestingly, the UK media are exploring the same issue, in a way:

England riots: What is the impact of a criminal record?
As the courts deal with some of the hundreds of people charged in connection with the riots, igniting a row over whether the sentences being handed out are too harsh, the BBC asks what is the real cost of a criminal conviction?

Well, given I started this thread in response to a BBC article, I'm not surprised they're piking up on the same issues being discussed here as a result!!

I think I read somewhere that ridiculous sentences were being handed out (or at least considered) for things like "inciting people to riot via FB or Twitter"... Obviously this sparks new debates as to the hyppocricy of "blaming social media" when the news is looping 24/7 info/footage derived from the same sources and that is simply being considered as "news"... Hmmm...
