Two individuals implicated in a break-in at a well-loved crazy golf kiosk in Skegness have been presented with an opportunity to transform their lives. The incident occurred at the coastal leisure spot, the perpetrators departing with both cash and equipment. However, instead of facing an immediate jail term, the local authorities have chosen to enrol them in a rehabilitation programme designed to alter their behavioural patterns. This approach is an element of a wider endeavour in Lincolnshire to decrease reoffending rates by addressing the underlying reasons for criminal actions. The community’s responses have varied, with some praising the emphasis on rehabilitation, while others believe that harsher punishment is needed to prevent future offenses.
