Wasting resources and money on burglars is, well, a waste.

Dont forget that everytime a burglar goes through the Justice system and there is press/TV coverage, thousands more innocent people see that a life of crime is the way forward.
Therefore by having a law against burglary we actually create more burglars and feed the problem.
Anyone can see the solution here. Surely ?
Care to offer a counterpoint Damian ?
