  I believe it is what we have lost that is the cause.
  All thanks to so called do-gooders.
  
  In the past, a clip round the ear, a stern talking to and the threat of telling your dad, from a burly 6ft copper, was enough to put the culprit on the right road.
  
  That was lost many years ago.
  
  Then came CCTV, which worked for a while and still does for convictions but is not now a deterrent.
  CCTV does not prevent these people from breaking windows etc, that has been lost.
  
  Going back to old policing would not work because they would not have the same powers and the culprits wouldn't care if their parents were told or not.
  
  So what is the solution?
