I read your piece, its a good one, and most of it makes sense but lets say you know who stole your horse (and he lives nearby) from the stable, what would you do then? Would you confront him about it or just forget about it? Or will there be a court system for this?

Second question, when you say that the majority can be learned to not commit crimes by prevention. It sounds good and all, but how would this be done? Parenting is enough, or more is needed?
