Re: Citizens Service - the new National Service.
As others have said, all this citizenship lark is nonsense. The good kids will do this sort of thing anyway, even if you make it difficult/expensive for them to do it. The bad apples (who would benefit most from it) will do anything to weasel their way out of it, even if it were mandatory.
Soulkiss' system would be much much better. My gf who is a bleeding heart liberal has proposed a similar thing (a mandatory 15 hours of working as a volunteer in a charity shop/litter picking/etc.)
