    Exactly. Most people get into crime because their backs are to the wall. They’re stuck in debt due to medical treatments they had to get, they’re struggling to pay obscene rent prices and risk being kicked out their home - there’s plenty of reasons, and much of it is down to poverty.

    If you give people legitimate, easily accessible support nets that are enough to actually survive on, then you’ll get less crime. It’s rather simple.

      I know that one guy that sold drugs to feed is fur baby Tigers. He 100% would have done anything else but love them cats and needed money.
