Forget all the flannel; in other words, you admit crime HAS gone up. Well, in my view, crime has gone up because of do-gooders like yourself who have advocated a kidglove treatment to criminals and have, in fact, placed the needs of criminals above those of their victims. And just how much of a deterrent is prison these days with TVs, computer games and other facilities? Perhaps if prisoners were kept in harsher conditions, they would think twice about getting themselves locked up again.
But what the heck would I know? After all. I'm just a poor, undereducated soul with a narrow frame of reference. It must be wonderful to have your masterful insight and keen, probing mind, Rosebud!
