This has never been credibly demonstrated and should be conclusively proven *before* any such scheme should be instituted (which will never happen!)
I've got to admit that, if you're talking about British criminals (and The Mail and The Express notwithstanding, I'd guess that most organised crime in this country is run by British nationals), I've never been able to understand how identity cards would help. The police are perfectly well aware who most of them are; they just can't catch them at their illegal activities.
