How I agree with your correspondent Ivor Sorokin about the "yob culture" so prevalent in our society (Letters, March 26).

Can it be any coincidence the spread of this yobbish behaviour exactly mirrors the growth of "political correctness" in our society, where there appears to be no sanction for antisocial behaviour and children see parents flouting the law?

I see little evidence of respect being shown by youngsters to authority, partly following the example of their elders and partly knowing little or no punishment will ensue.
