'Career Criminals'

The Hatton Garden robbers just received derisory sentences, because they pleaded guilty in part. Of course these old duffers are attracting a degree of sympathy from the small of intellect. Yes they might even die in jail, oh how sad. The police described them as 'career criminals' and that gets my goat. It's not a career, it's wrong doing, it's taking from others what they have usually earned. A career is where you get off your arse and work. Of the fourteen million stolen only four million has been recovered, probably more by luck than judgement and one robber at least is still at large. End the use of the term career criminals, lifetime criminals, call 'em what you like but not that. And give them a permanent term after their sentence, until the goods and cash are returned.
