Laci the Dog: Don't let cute and fluffy fool you!

A very intelligent canine. I've gone to court more than Michelle Bachmann, Harriet Miers, and most US Law School professors ever have. I am ghost written by my human companion. I actually live in the Second largest English speaking city at the time of the War for American Independence. These are my opinions and I don't care if you read this. I don't really want to hear from you--unless you agree with me or can offer intelligent and constructive comments. And I refuse to sell out (no ads here).

An interesting way to fight crime

It seems that the West Yorkshire police are using a young girls's letter to show the effects of crime. West Yorkshire Police are sending a Christmas card to known burglars across the Bradford area to make them think about the effect of their crimes.

The BBC interviewed a robber about his experience in a programme where he had to meet his victim and learn how his crime affected her. Somerset Children have also written similar letters.

I have to admit that my experience shows that prevention is far better than punishment at dealing with criminals. It will be interesting to see the effect this has on the West Yorkshire's criminal element.
