The incidence of credit card fraud, not merely by customers against retailers but often the other way around, is a significant problem, of which I confess I was briefly the victim in South Africa last year.

Is he prepared, alongside custodial sentences, to consider stiff community penalties and possibly the use of restorative justice?
