Epic fail

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.

I think our current government's way is to give everyone a job and to increase the flow and availability of credit, the idea being that young people will have less 'need' to steal or commit crime. Tough on the causes of crime, if you will. Also encourage kids to stay on in school after 16 and open up universities so more people can go. This works to an extent, but i don't know how sustainable model this, given the increase in crime since 2007, when the crunch hit.
