Doubling a sentence for armed robbery may or may not reduce armed robbery. The first question would be, "What was the original sentence?" The second issue is that armed robbery is a young man's crime. A 19 year old who had a 5 year sentence changed to a 10 year sentence is more likely to commit another crime than a 29 year old who had his sentence changed to 10 years. 39 year old men seldom commit armed robbery.

Police are already given firearms as standard in high crime areas, areas concerning national security (i.e. Parliament) and anywhere else at high risk of terrorist attacks.
