Dear friends,
Lent is about preparing for Easter,
when we celebrate the triumph of life
over death, the triumph of God over
sin, and the reality of Christ's risen
life in us. We can prepare by taking
stock of where we are spiritually,
emotionally and mentally.
It is time to think about the God
who loves us and longs to have a
meaningful relationship with us; longs
to be involved in every aspect of our
lives.
It is a time to allow him to get
elose to us, to show us the parts of
our lives that could do with a little
rc-ordering.
It is a time to let Him toueh us
where we aehe in pain - whether it is
pain ,from long ago or pain from
today.
It is also a time to give expression
to our own thoughts and fcelings
about God.
We may lament the inadequacy of
our love and commitment to him, but
4
we must not let ihat stop us drawing
nc.1r to him. God will mcet us where
we are, becausc the relationship we
have with him is two way and he does
not expect us to battle on our own to
keep it going.
These meditations are designed to
help you to rediseover your relationship with the God who loves you.
1. How import.1nt to you is your
relationship with God?
2. What things in your life are you
eonseious that you need to put right?
3. When you think about appro.1ehing Jesus, what is the first thing
that eomes into your mind? His Ive
for you? Your sin? FC.1r?
4. What prevents you from receiving things or love from others? Is
there a sense in whieh you are
rejecting real relationships with them?
5. Think of occ.1sions' when you
have let down people you love. How
did you feel?
Imagine Jesus looking at you in
sorrow, but ready to forgive you if
you ask him.
6. What things of bc.1Uty or worth
do you have or want? Do they bring
you e10ser to God, or do they get in
the way?
7. Is your faith a very personal,private affair, or is'it something you arc
glad to have and like to tell people
about? Do you regard it more like a
hobby, or is it a way of life for you?
Buomi Quaresima!

RIVlSI'A DELLA COMUNITA'ITALIANA
Young Criminals
Sir John Smith
In this third in a series of extracts taken from a recent speech entitled "Young Criminals"
Sir John now examines the origins of delinquent behaviour and criminality.
The Background to
CriminaIity
To attempt to prevent such appall-.
ing deeds occurring, we must learn to
recognise those elements in a child's
history and early family' experience
that ean predispose that child to
criminal behaviour and violence.
Childcare experts might have been
less stunned than many of us to hear
the seemingly incomprehensible ae-·
tions of those two boys in Liverpool
and Yummy Sandifer in Chicago had
they been aware of the common
factors in their backgrounds beforehand.
We must acknowledge that violent
abuse, poor parenting and deprivation
during childhood and adolescence can
create the potential for serious criminal activity at a very young age. This
fearful thought and events like
the callous murders I have described should urge us to take
action.
The authorities in Chicago
had known of Yummy Sandifcr
for' years. He had committed a
crime a month during the year
and a half leading to his dc.,th.
Cook County public guardian
Patrick Murphy was quoted aOer
Yummy's dc.,th as saying: "If
cver there was a case where the
kid's future was predictable, it
was this ease".
Sandifer's mother was a tccnage drug addict who had the first
of her eight children at IS. His father
was in prison for most of Yummy's
life and is currently serving scntences
for drugs and weapons convictions.
Not yet 30, Yummy's mother has
faced several charges of child neglect
- the first for fhiling to get an eye
infection in her older son trc.,ted
which eventually resulted in blindness. She has alrc.,dy been arrested 41
times, mainly for prostitution.
Yummy's life was a catalogue of
abuse and deprivation. He was burned
and bc.,ten as a baby and had an
erratic and unsuccessful time at
8
sehool - missing more days than they
attended. He spent his childhood in a
variety of homes and detention centres and finally safe houses kept by
his gang, the Black Diseiples.
As a small boy his mother was
pronounced unfit to care for him so he
was sent to live with his grandmother,
herself described"as having a "severe
borderline personality disorder".
Just onc year ago, a psychiatrist
evaluated Yummy as '''emotionally
flooded"; he saw a child full of
self-hate, lonely, illiterate and wary.
Some who knew him saw belter in
him. A neighbour said he could be
polite, kind, loved animals, basketball
and messing around with bikes and
cars - like any other kid.
Others described him as a bully,.
extortionist and a fierce fighter prepared to take on bigger children.
The family histories of the boys
who killed Jamie Bulger, according to
reports, bc.,r many similarities. The
were also violent, disordered and
chaotic. Both boys were brought up in
fhtherlcss homes. In onc case the boy
was bc.,ten by both his elder brothers
and his father, until his father leO.
Onc had an alcoholic' mother and onc
a mother who felt so unable to cope
on her own in diseiplining her son
that she would take him to the local
police to do it for her.
One of the boys had one sibling in
care and another who had asked for
the same treatment. Both boys spent
more time truanting from sehool than
going.
These common background factors
- disordered and emotionally inadequate family lives, educational failure, emotional .and physical abuse,
truanting; petty crime and violence arc not by any means excuses for the
appalling crimes commilted by all
these boys.
But they do provide an insight, an
explanation perhaps, of their behaviour. It is my strong belief that it is
only by gaining such an insight that
wc can start to address ourselves to
the question of preventing such behaviour.
A child psychologist was quoted
in a newspaper as saying that he is
now sceing more violent and disturbed behaviour in children. The
problems are different now, he
said, involving more desperation
and brutality. He stresses the
importance of looking at the
child's early life - the foundation of his or her existence - and
the relationship \vith the parents.
Unhappily, good parenting is
lacking or inadequate in the
early years of a gro\ving number
of our children.
Emotional stability, a sense
of well-being and high selfestcem all depend on the quality
of family relationships in childhood. Moral development also
rests on these c.,rly experiences.
Children learn behaviour by example
and from role models.
They value themselves according
to the value placed on them by the
most significant people in their early
lives - their parents - and from the
interest shown in them.
I believe that the origins of delinquent behaviour and criminality can
be traced back to these childhood
years. Each further stage of a child's
development rests on the success or
failure of the previous stages.

questioned by prosecutors about illegal payments made by co-operatives

explain a payment of $231,000 made
by Unieco, an agricultural co-opera~

His predecessor, Achillc Ochctto,
was also expected to testify. Both
men, who have denied any impropriety, are being investigated in connection with a nationwide inquiry into

·RIVISI'A DEU.A COMUNITA'ITALIANA
No More War?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there
were no more wars and famine. If we
lived in peace and harmony With our
families, friends and even people that
we don't know? Is it possible? I think
that the answer is more a positive
response than a negative one. So what
stops us? The first· thing is trust. We
learn from very early on in life to
nover trust another person. From this
~eason wc learn to justify our greed,
Jealousy and pride. Since wc eannot
trust other people, we begin to try to
better ourselves at the expense of
others. Wc also remain insecure about
ourselves and the world around us and
so \Jy also to· manipulate the situations that we fiiid ourselves in.
This is a very negative way of
trying to cope with the problems that
wc arc dealing with. This kind of
behaviour of "dog eat dog" becomes
the only response that we can, give
and wc never leave the vicious circle
that wc arc in. Perhaps we respond
this way because from early on someone did us wrong and we have never
been able to put it behind us. There
are many possibilities for why wc act
the way we do. Again I ask, is it
possible to change the situation. I
believe that it can be done. So now,
let's look at a few ways to deal with
the problem.
It might not be possible to change
the world around you but you eaR
change yourself. By becoming more
secure in ourselves and realising' that
if someone does something wrong to
us it is a reflection on that. person and
not on us. I must take responsibility
for myself and only ,myself. I must
also look at the situation that I am in
and sce' if I have any fault in it. If I
have some culpability in a siluation, I
must try to right the wrong as fhr as I
am able; It is important to try to be as·
objective as possible with regards to
oneself.
Something else that I can do is to
get to know and understand myself as
much as possible so that I C<'1n move'
more towards my own personal fulfilment. When I know mysclf I am in
better control of all of my rC<'1ctions
an emotions and will always be able
to think more clearly. When I am able
to put more perspective into the
20
things of my own life I will then
become more able to understand others. This is also an important key to
making the situations in life more
pleasant. If I understand better why a
particular person acts the way he or
she does, I will be better able to cope
wilh that person. In doing so I have
already begun to create a better world
around me just by starting with myself. So, as wc now see understanding
and compassion are very essential for
myself to myself, as well as for
myself to'others.
Don't wait for an Angel to hit you
over the head with a trumpet
It is always true that niany of us
are not quite at the level of the Saints
in dealing wilh others. 'But if wc
rc.'1l1y look at their lives wc will find
that they did help ·to crc.'1te a better
world' around them. Even in all of
their adversities and trials they always
responded good for evil. Shouldn't we
'try also to do the same?
Wc also have to remember that
even the most evil person will respect
the concept of good. I know 'no onc
rc.'1I1Y wants to be' labelled as a "bad
person". This is also a good sign and
gives sonic hope to ihe situation.
In Ameriea I remember the story
of Fr. F1anagan who founded the first
"Boystown" in the midwestern states.
Flanagan &'1id that lIiere was no such
thing as a bad boy and we!lt ?bout
Michael Scotto SAC
proving his statement. He had a
tremendous success and "Boystown"
has grown and even flourished up to
this very day. He was someone who
responded with good to every situation and changed the lives of thousands of problem children. In my
book the man is a saint; his example
gives me 'the inspiration to do the
same.
I think at this point wc can also
say that it is part of our vocation as
Christians to try to be in peace and
harmony here on carth. Wc must all
aspire to be Saints and endure even
the most difficult of situations with
patience, tranquillity and love. Believe mc, I know how difficult it is to
treat people with kindness and love
especially if all they want to do is
butt you. I fcel that at times like these
it becomes a grcat challenge to my
own self. I try to look at the situation
in the most positive way possible and
I leave all to God by asking His help
to make a truly Christian response to
every siluation that I may find myself
in. I know that God will nover
abandon anyone who calls upon His
name Wilh sincerity and goodness.
Also if you. ever feel alone in your
situation, never forget that God is
always wilh you. St. Paul says "If
God is for us, who can be against
us", Or, in the Psalms il states,
"Yaweh, I know that you arc near,
standing always at my side. You
guard me from the focand you lead
,me in ways everlasting".
'
In my love I also become more
disposed to charity. I will actually
begin to really help others and actually be concerned for their well being,
Just imagine that, if I started trying to
change the world, eventually someone
else might follow my example... and
another... and another and another...
So you see thal il is possible to
imagine the world without wars and
famine - for our families, friends and
even people wc don't know - to live
in peace and harmony. Think about ill

(15,22); it padre del ragazzo epilellico si gclla in
ginocchio davanti a Gcsu'
e gli dice: '''Signore, abbi

(17,14); i dicci Icbbrosi
alzano la voce dicendo:
"Gcsu' macstro, abbi pieta' di noi" (Le 17,13).

che gli angcli hanno intonato a Betlemme sulla culla del nalo Messia:
"Gloria a' Dio nell'aUo dei cieli e

COMUNITA'ITALIANA
Sportlight
Unfortunately football is back on
the front rather than the back pages of
our newspapers again for all the
wrong reasons.
I was intending to come home
emly so as to watch at least the
second half of the Ireland - England
game. Unfortunately the pressures of
work (all doubters please note) prevented this and it was 7.45 pm before
I walked through my own front door.
I was promptly greeted by my six
year old daughter, Aless.,ndra, asking
me if I knew what had happened.
-"Papa\" she 5.l"\id "the English f.:.'1ns
have been, throwing chairs onto the
pitch and they have stopped the game.
It is just not on". I had to agree with
hcr, it was dcfinitcly not on and
highly "on".
The question which is now being
asked is whcther the European Championships should be hcld in this
country in 1996. My. immediate reply
is "yes'" and that"is not just because I
have already applicd for my tickets.
Thcre arc a number of reasons
why I feel strongly on this point.
The dis.,sters in Brussels, at
Hillsborough, and the appalling behaviour of England fans in Luxembourg and Holland ultinmtcly led to
the exclusion of English clubs from
foreign competition. It was a blow
which hit .hard and many clubs and
supporters suffered as a result. If the
purpose of the exclusion was to act as
a deterrent and prevent a repetition of
such events, it has s.,dly not worked.
The reason is that this is not rc.,lly
a footballing problem. It is a social
problem and not just restricted to
these shores. The most recent press
reports make it clear that thcre was an
organised campaign aimed at embarrassing the British Govcrnmcnt iil its
pc.,ce negotiations with Ireland. What
possible rclevance c.,n chants of "no
surrendcr to the IRA" have to a
football match? Everyone is agreed
that the crowd behaviour wils totally
unrelated to anything which happened
on the pitch even though Kelly had
just scored to put the home tc.,m I - 0
up. The British police had actually
predicted that there would be trouble
when the Natioual Anthcms were
sung. In Germany, the frighteuing rise
of neo-naziism has manifested itself
in many forms not Ic.,st through
football hooliganism. Let us not forget
that the match between Germany and
32
Richard Evans
England fixed for last year was cancelled because it coincided with Hitler's birthday. Wc all aecepted the
decision at the time but take a step
back - what an astonishing reason for
not playing a football matchI In
Holland, the supporters arc rapidly
gaining a reputation to match the
English and sadly, even in Italy it' is
developing into a major problcm
Howevcr, I belicvc t1mt thc police's
vast expericnce will overcomc any
major difficulties. So the European
Championship should go ahead in
England.
Meanwhile, ,on a happier note, I
was proud and privileged to attend a
lunch at thc' Grosvenor House Hotel
last Monday to mark the 80th birthday of Sir Stanlcy Mallhcws. The
other speakers were Tom Finney" Nat
Lofthouse and Jaekic B1anchllowcr. I
evcn mamiged to get my mcnu signed
by all four of thcm and I am making
no pretcnce that thc autographswerc

·for iuc.
.
Listening to thcm spc.,k and wal100ving in thcir nostalgia brought
homc to mc how football has
changed. Thcre have always been
hard men and rough tacklcs. I rcmember going to a gamc in 1965 between
Arscnal and Liverpool in thc fifth
round of thc FA Cup whcn Ron Ye.,ts
and Joc Bakcr wcre both sent off.
This was thc first timc I had ever secn
such an ineidcnt on a football pitch.
Nowadays, my tcn yc.,r old son will

To vicw this narrowly as a foot- I have touched upon this subjcet in

scratch the surface and ncver allack officialdom gonc mad. Yes, it is
the root of the problem. This is a necess.,ry to outlaw malcvolcnce and
worldwidc social disease which mani- perhaps not enough has been done in
