  • I sometimes smoke funny fags in the street, if I get caught I will get a fine and a caution. I sometimes exceed the speed limit on an open road, I might get points on my licence.

    I used to want to inflict harm on people who have done me a wrong'un in the past but I wont because the thought of having my liberty removed and having to spend my days in fear at Her Majesty's pleasure frightens the shit out of me.

    The escalating severity of punishment keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    Interesting as far as it goes, but in danger of making a classic mistake. If you don't nick bikes, asking yourself 'what would it take to deter me from nicking bikes?' is pretty irrelevant. Try asking people who actually do nick bikes what it would take to stop them.
