John MacDonald: Don't overthink repeat offender crackdown

When it comes to having a view or an opinion it can, sometimes, come down to what you really think versus what you think you should think. I suppose a better way of putting it is ‘head versus heart’ or ‘logic versus gut instinct’. And this is how I’m feeling after reading an opinion piece on nzherald.co.nz written by Cheryl Adamson, who is general manager of the Parnell Business Association, in Auckland. And this is where I get to the ‘head versus heart’ or ‘logic versus gut instinct’ thing. Of course, I don’t think crime is going to disappear if every repeat offender is put away for a while.
