Nick meets victims of crime - from the elderly who have been targets of 'distraction' burglaries on the edge of town to students whose shared accommodation proves an easy target for local drug users - and follows their stories, and that of the perpetrators, to see how they are treated by the police, prosecutors and the courts. Finally Nick looks beyond the criminal justice system to see how design solutions - from improving locks to tightening online security - can prevent theft and fraud from happening in the first place.
