Do you not think that most people don't commit crimes because they subconsciously weigh up their options and find that committing a crime is detrimental to their personal wellbeing?

For example: I could steal that apple, but if I was caught I'd get a social stigma as a criminal, I'd get fined, maybe a criminal record - so what's the point in stealing it?
Do me a favour tell you mate Cyfr not to bandy accywebs name around his college, we have enough home grown students of our own!

Seriously though,
People that commit crimes are criminals, the police look out for the people that have commited crimes, until a crime has been commited it is none of their business, society as a whole keeps the majority of people in check, I haven't seen a Policeman for several weeks but I haven't used that as an excuse to commit a crime because like the majority I feel I can be classed as honest.
