At no point did I say we should abolish or reduce sentences. Just that more police resource and a higher probability of getting caught is more effective at preventing crime from happening in the first place. Which is after all the best possible outcome and the entire point of the system.

Everyone can argue their emotionally based opinion till they are blue in the face, but that won't change the facts.

Curious: how has the heavy CCTV approach of the UK reduced crime? Genuine question....
