No amount of expenditure on State security technology is going the nurture children into living decent lives so they will not see a life of crime as being attractive.Sensible loving parenting achieves this. The State, try as it may, can't fulfil the role of parenting. People brought up on a dearth of love will disagree with this.Dana Seetahal-type incidents happen when state security fails. Big Brother state security can't watch everybody everywhere 24/7. Teaching children to value and respect others is the best anti-crime contingency.Allocating billions to national security to fatten the bank accounts of the rich and greedy by way of government contracts won't help to curb crime. People won't value each other's lives any greater if the rich and greedy get a larger bunch of lucrative national security contracts.
