It is convenient for Deputies and the media to point at certain areas and claim there is excessive crime there. However, they rarely ever mention white collar crime in society or the areas where white collar criminals live. Crime is crime, and just because the perpetrators live in leafy suburbs and wear pinstripe suits, it does not mean they are not criminals. All crime should be investigated and prosecuted with the same vigour.
