Crime and punishment

Crime has been a growing problem all over the world in last 30 years. Most crime is against property, not people. And most is not carried out by professionals and carefully planned. Property crimes thrive on the easy opportunity and are often commited by young people. There are many different types of crimes, I think four main:

Minor offences: drivers offences – illegal parking, speeding, driving against the red
shoplifting – stealing things from opened shops
tiny thefts from pockets - purses, mobil phones, keys, papers
