They are terrified however of going to prison for beating a home intruder. These are big ass burly rugby players, who aren't scared of a fight. I have two cousin's over there who have been home when someone broke in and they just locked their bedroom door because they were scared of the reprucussions for defending their homes. I was explicitly told by my family in Ireland that in the event of someone assaulting you you should just run away because fighting back would get me sent to prison. We are also told horror stories about what happens to you if you defend yourself in those countries. But due to ratcheted-up law enforcement measures, including heftier sentences (in some states, a pick, defined as theft from the body of another person and charged as a felony regardless of the amount taken) and better surveillance of hot spots and known pickpockets, that system has been dismantled. Pickpocketing has always perpetuated itself by having older hooks-nicknamed "Fagins," after the crime boss in Oliver Twist-teach younger ones the art, and then absorbing them into canons. And perhaps most important, the centuries-old apprenticeship system underpinning organized pickpocketing has been disrupted. People carry less cash today, and thanks to enhanced security features, it's harder for thieves to use stolen credit or debit cards than it was in the past. Crime nationwide-from pickpocketing to homicide-has been dropping since the mid-1990s. I think the article claims that's only a small part of the reasonĮxperts offer a few explanations for the gradual disappearance of pickpockets in the United States.
