'Oldest' burglar is jailed again

The most common theory of crime and desistance - the age-crime debate - argues that criminals start to commit fewer offences when the opportunities to offend decrease with age. For burglars, opportunities decrease largely because of changes to the individual's agility and physical ability to commit burglaries successfully. But not for Mr Blaycock who was still doing burglaries at age 77. No agility worries there, it seems! Yes, he may have got caught, but you have to admire his nerve!
