Provided criminals do not go as far as to commit murder or a major robbery, it is likely that they will escape with an insignificant punishment, such as a warning. Even if the crime they commit is indeed serious, it is probable that they will receive a relatively short prison sentence and that this will be reduced in return for good behaviour. It is hardly surprising that crime is flourishing to the extent that it is. Unit9 11
