I can see you… Is a phrase that many mothers use with their children, often when they are doing something wrong. In this context we hear it in our heads with that slightly playful but deadly serious tone and it scares us. The use of the first person in the article headings is designed to make this idea of surveillance very personal and frightening, the idea that someone is watching us all the time, monitoring our every movement, like Big Brother of Science Fiction. It seems as if we are being stalked.

4.a.
12-to-15-year-olds
With the exception of very rare instances, there were a relatively small number of crimes committed by children under the age of twelve. In the twelve to fifteen age group, there has been an alarming increase in the number of crimes committed. By far the most serious of these include knife attacks, which have been carried out by offenders as young as thirteen. In terms of statistics, however, the most frequently committed crimes are shoplifting and petty theft. Our organization believes that unless prompt action is taken, we are likely to see a sharp increase in these figures in the near future.

4.b.
16-to-19-year-olds
The crimes which are committed (the) most in this age group are vehicle theft and driving offences. On average, (over/around/at least) three cars are stolen each day by people under 20. In addition, (the) magistrates courts (have to) deal with up to 200 cases of reckless driving and driving without a licence (per day). The majority of these cases involve teenagers. The only way to/that we can prevent such crimes is by severely punishing offenders. The effect of this would be to deter others.
