 Crime means the factor which goes against the law or in other words the factor which is illegal is crime. Punishment is given by a government or head of organization to the people who do crime. In UK the most common crimes are joy-riding, juvenile it is a crime which is mostly done by the young people. It is not only common in the UK but it is common in an individual hometown as well.
The best way to deal with joy-riding and vandalism are community service and rehabilitation. The political activists have no right to break the law because the low set up for all society level. These types of crime makes not good views for the people who are came from the other country to visit or to live. The UK government is so strict with the people who drink and drive because this thing is not fair with the people who are sincere with the law and when people drink and drive it may be danger for the others safety. The main question is that smoking cannabis is a criminal offence? Yes it is in public place.
In conclusion, laws of the UK is so organized which is totally against to any sort of crime.
