PRESENTER: This is Radio 24 and today we’re looking at a programme called Restoring Justice. It’s an unusual way to try and help people change – people who would normally go to prison. Listen to one of them, Jason Wilkins. He’s 17 and he got arrested for mugging somebody.

JASON: Well, I was in court and I knew I was gonna go to prison … and I was feeling awful about it. And then the judge said he’d give me a choice. I didn’t understand what he meant. He asked me whether I wanted to go to prison for half a year, or join a special programme called Restoring Justice. He said the programme would last for six months, and it meant I’d have several meetings with the woman I’d mugged. He told me to think carefully about my choices. I was … I really didn’t know what to say … um … I didn’t want to meet her again … but then, of course, I definitely didn’t want to go to prison, so I said I’d join the programme.

PRESENTER: Ken Simmons, you’re a social worker on this programme. Can you tell us more about it?

KEN: The idea behind this programme is that people who’ve stolen something or mugged somebody, but haven’t attacked their victims physically … well, they get a chance to see what they’ve done through the eyes of their victim. We’re hoping that this helps them to think more the next time they get into a similar situation.

JASON: The first time I met Mrs Schwartz – the woman I mugged – was very difficult. At the meeting, there was also Ken, my social worker, and then my mum and dad. I was terrified about meeting Mrs Schwartz, but she kind of helped … um … the first thing she said was that she wasn’t going to get angry with me.

PRESENTER: Here’s what she said when we spoke to her.

MRS SCHWARTZ: I wasn’t keen on the idea of meeting my mugger, I must say. The experience had already been frightening enough. But then I thought, ‘Well, we’d all like a country with less crime, wouldn’t we? And who knows? Maybe I can make a contribution to that.’ I was also rather nervous, but I really felt I wanted to try and change his ways.

JASON: Well, now I’ve met Mrs Schwartz three times, and I’ve learnt a lot from it. I can really say that. I’ll never forget when she looked me in the eyes and asked me why I’d done it. I told her that I wanted some money to spend. And the moment I said that, I thought how stupid I’d been to mug somebody because I wanted to buy some stuff. The second time, she asked me if I knew who’d suffered most from what I’d done. And I said to her, ‘You of course!’ She just said that no, it wasn’t her, and asked me to look at the other side of the table, where my mum and dad were sitting. I knew immediately what she meant.

KATE: I was in a clothes shop.

KATE: I wanted to try on a coat so I put my bag down on the floor.

KATE: Yes, my purse, credit cards, a comb and a mirror, house keys and a cheese sandwich.

BOY: Someone stole my bicycle last weekend. That’s the third bike I’ve had stolen in two years!

GIRL: Oh no! Really? I’m sorry to hear that. You really liked that bike too, didn’t you?

BOY: Absolutely. It was the best bike I’ve ever had – and I worked and saved to buy it. Remember? I worked for more than a year, working weekends cutting grass and washing cars, just to buy that bike. And now it’s gone.

GIRL: Do you know what happened?

BOY: Well, sort of. I went into town on Sunday and I left my bike outside the shopping centre. I put the chain on it and locked it, as always. But someone came and cut the chain and took the bike.

GIRL: Was that during the day? I mean, didn’t anyone see?

BOY: No, it was in the evening. But I’m surprised no one saw anything. Well, perhaps they did see something. I mean I told the police that the bike had been stolen, but they must hear that twenty times a day, I don’t think they’re going to find it – or even really try to find it. So I’m not hopeful.

GIRL: Oh come on, you never know. I mean, it’s not always easy for the police but I think they try.

BOY: Sorry, Clare, just a moment. Hello? Yes, that’s me. Really? Wow, that’s fantastic. Yes, thank you. Of course, I’ll be there in … about ten minutes. Yes. Thanks again. Bye. Well, you’re not going to believe this but …

GIRL: The police have found your bike.

BOY: Yes! Well, they think it’s mine – they found a bike that matches the description. I’ve got to go to the station now to see if it’s actually mine. Wow – who would have believed it?

Thief feels sorry

When teacher Margaret Atkins, 49, went to ride her bike to school last Friday, she was shocked to discover it wasn't there. When our reporter spoke to her, she told him that she'd been really angry when she realised the bike was gone. She said a friend had given it to her years ago and that it was quite an old bike, but that she'd always liked it.

So what did she do? She decided to write a note to the thief and put it on the tree next to the bike stand that it had been stolen from. To her surprise, when she came back from school the same day, she found the thief had returned the bike, together with a written apology. 'I'm sorry I stole your bike. What I did was wrong. I've replaced the lock as I'd broken it. Hope you can accept my apology!'

The next morning, Mrs Atkins told reporters that she was still feeling surprised at what had happened. She said that although most people would be angry in her situation, she was just grateful that she could go to school on her bike again. Mrs Atkins added that she'd probably write another message to the thief. 'I want to thank him for returning the bike and tell him I've forgiven him,' she explained. She said that she wasn't going to report the incident to the police because she believed everyone could do bad things sometimes. 'What counts is that people own up to their mistakes,' she said.

Father angry victim of online con

Frank Caron, 29, will think twice before using his credit card online again. Caron spent £450 on what he thought was the popular Xbox One console, a birthday present for his twins Mia and Michael, seven. When he found out that he'd been tricked, he was the 'maddest man in town', as he told our reporter.

Mr Caron said that the family's financial situation was difficult, as most of their money went to pay the mortgage on their house. But he added that the twins had desperately wanted the games console and he and his wife had been proud to get them the toy they wanted. He said they'd seen the console on a well-known shopping auction website months ago and had thought it was a bargain. He started saving up for it immediately, and hoped nobody else would buy it before he had the money. He said he'd been absolutely furious when he opened the box and all he found inside was a low-resolution photo of the games console he'd wanted to buy.

When Mr Caron went online to understand how he'd been tricked, he realised he'd been the victim of an online scam, a modern-day con. He said that he'd felt furious when he re-read the seller's advertisement: 'Xbox One console, top model photo, brand new'.

An experiment carried out at Newcastle University aimed at reducing the number of bike thefts has produced some remarkable results. The most efficient way of stopping people from stealing bikes seems almost too simple to be true.

If you want to persuade thieves not to act, make them feel they're being watched!

GETTING CREATIVE with crime

Posters showing a large pair of eyes were put up near three bike racks at the university, while other bike racks had no posters. The researchers explained that the number of thefts decreased by 62 per cent compared to the previous year at racks with posters. However, at the other racks, thefts actually increased by 63 per cent. Experts claim that clearly visible images of eyes make people feel they're being watched. They say that we all care what other people think about us and that's why we behave better when we think someone is looking. Now officials have agreed to carry out similar projects at train stations all over the country.

The 'giant eyes' poster isn't the only unusual method being used to try and fight crime on UK streets. In the East Midlands city of Leicester, police are inviting people to make large woolly balls and hang them up in trees around the area. They hope that these colourful additions to neighbourhoods will help create a safer place to live. The thinking behind the idea is that if you create a pleasant environment, people are more likely to behave better. 'We live in a world where our every move is being watched by CCTV cameras,' one of the organisers told us. 'The cameras are there to deter possible criminals, but they come at a price, and many people don't like being watched 24 hours a day. We believe there's another way. We want to encourage people to take more pride in where they live.'

However, not all residents are happy – many refuse to believe it will make any difference. They're demanding that the police do more to reduce trouble in the area. One local resident told us, 'I recommend that the police stop wasting their time on mad schemes like this and do some real policing. We need to see more policemen walking around our streets, especially at night.'

What do these three men have in common? All are, or were, incredibly rich at some point in their lives. However, there's little to admire in their apparent success – they all got their money in deeply dishonest ways.

One of the most common ways of stealing money these days is to steal it from your company. It's called embezzlement and Dennis Kozlowski was very good at it! Kozlowski was a top manager at an American company named Tyco a few years ago. (Ironically, one of the company's most recognised brands is ADT Home Security.) Kozlowski and another senior manager decided to help themselves to the company's money. It was a lot of money, and Kozlowski wasn't afraid to spend it! He bought a house costing $19 million and an apartment in New York for $18 million. He even spent $2 million on a private concert from the singer Jimmy Buffet. Altogether, he managed to steal $600 million before someone noticed. He's now in prison and has a lot of time to think about his 'success'.

Ronald Biggs was involved in the Great Train Robbery of 1963. Early one morning, a gang of men stopped a train in the British countryside.

They hit the train driver over the head and drove the train towards a bridge. A lorry was waiting underneath, and they dropped 120 mailbags of money from the train into it. They then drove to a farm nearby and shared out the money. Biggs got £147,000, which was a fortune at the time. When the police later found the farm, Biggs's fingerprints were all over the place. He was caught and sent to prison, but escaped after fifteen months. Biggs avoided British justice for almost 40 years, living in Australia and then in Brazil. He returned to Britain in 2001 because of bad health and died in 2013.

American Albert Gonzalez, also called 'The Hacker', worked for the US Secret Service in the early 2000s, trying to catch cybercriminals. But he didn't stay on that side of the law for long, and soon formed his own gang of hackers. They planned to make millions, and they did. The gang hacked into the computer networks of huge retail stores. They managed to steal the details of 140 million credit cards, and sold them to criminal organisations in other countries. They were successful for some time, but an international police operation finally tracked them down. Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but his victims had lost millions of dollars.

It all started when I was at university. I don't make friends easily and I was unhappy being away from home. I was also finding my courses at university very difficult. I went to see the doctor and he said I was depressed and suggested that I saw a therapist. The therapist told me that one way to feel better would be to 'pamper' myself – to do something good for myself. I liked the idea, but I was a student and I didn't have any money. Other than buying a big bar of chocolate occasionally, there was no way that I could afford to go shopping and treat myself.

It was then that I started to shoplift. I didn't realise how easy it was. By the end of university I knew all the places in the shops where no one would see me taking things. I was completely addicted to shoplifting. I could have anything I wanted and not pay any money at all. It felt fantastic.

One day, I decided to go into town and 'treat' myself. In one of the stores, a security guard saw me slip some things into my bag. Finally, I'd been caught shoplifting. The security guard took me to a room. I didn't make a fuss. I just went with him. He called the store manager, and they made me empty out all my bags. They wanted to see the receipts for everything. I only had receipts for two things. I'd taken stuff from six shops. When it was all out on the table, I looked at it all and I felt terrible. Standing there with the security guards and the store manager made me finally see myself as a thief.

I started crying and I apologised for stealing. I said that I would pay anything they wanted. They called the police because the stuff was worth a lot of money. Then they took down my name, address and date of birth.

The police made me take all the stuff I'd stolen back to the stores. They made me apologise to all the store managers. I've been banned from going to any of those stores again. I don't know what to do. I don't want my parents to find out that I'm a shoplifter. They'll be so disappointed in me. What's going to happen?

Poverty is the Cause of Crime

Crime is a serious problem in every country around the world. Some people

think that the main cause of crime is poverty. Other people have argued

that poverty does not have a direct link to crime.

_______________ , there are many reasons why people commit crimes, and

poverty is one of them. For example, a teenager has no money but wants

the same trainers as his or her classmate so goes out and shoplifts them.

_______________ , it's not just poor people who commit crimes. Wealthy

people with good jobs and loving families also commit crimes. However,

they probably commit their crimes for other reasons.

_______________ , they may be risk takers. ______________ , children from a

poor family with a very loving mother and father will probably not commit a

crime. They have love and security and they're happy.

_______________ , the main reason for teenagers and young people

committing crimes is the lack of support from their family and people

around them. They feel unloved and they have no good role models.

_______________ , poverty is a cause of crime, but it is not the only cause.

Writing an email

You get an email from a friend. This friend has heard from another friend that your bike has been stolen. Write a reply. It must start with the following sentence:

Great to hear from you, and thanks for your concern.

In your email, you must:

• explain how you felt about your bike being stolen.

• agree that you should report it to the police.

Write your email in 140 – 190 words.

Great to hear from you, and thanks for your concern. Of course, I was very puzzled when I got to the bike rack and couldn't find my bike. Then I felt angry with the thief. How was I going to get home? I didn't have any money on me and it would take me ages to walk. Luckily I had my mobile phone with me, so I rang my mum and explained to her what had happened. She told me to wait there and she'd come and pick me up. She said we could go together and report it to the head teacher.

It's annoying because three other people have had their bikes stolen too, and that's just in the last week! I really hope the school will do something about it.

Oh – I'm sorry I have to go now. The police are here. The headmaster called them. I'll email you again later to let you know what they say.
