And when they do get caught the punishment isn't enough to make them think it's not a good idea to do it again.
You have community service thats not done, fines that aren't paid and short custodial sentences that they are released from in less than half the time they should have been inside for. And even when they are inside it's not especially a tough enviroment, some regular customers of the Police even prefer being inside to life outside!
Regular meals, cheap sky tv, playstations, gyms, all the drugs they can snort/smoke/inject.
I've said it before that there aren't a lot of criminals out there but a lot of crime being committed by the same people. If judges started locking them up for longer crime would fall and some of the hangers on get the message that if you are caught you are off the street for a considerable time.
