'Neither a lack of education nor poverty are an excuse for crime'

Assume you're saying this from your relaxed detached non rented gated tree lined house/community with a lovely summer meadow of a Garden for your children to play in, or similar.

If we're talking Education, I'd say it was a lack of Education regards rank and file Police Officers the reason the Police concentrate on Black Petty crime, disproportionally to more complex White Collar fraud.

In most industries, complex problem solving, is people what seem to thrive upon. The Police seem to always swing towards tick box Policing and fines, you could argue that its their own lack of Education (low entry grades) is the reason for this.

You could also argue they are fire fighting crime to the best of their ability, but plenty of Financial Banking crime since 2008 and other White Collar crime, that was is never followed up/People locked up for, which ended with a slap (more like tap) on the wrist. I'd put this down to "People with influence" really been in control of Police choices to concentrate on.

Hence why Chelsea Flower Show (as someone mentioned) wasn't used for this first technology trial, after all a face is face. That's an example of the choice of venue been chosen to test this, by people with influence. "Test it on the plebs first".
