Samantha’s Crime Prevention Demonstration Goes Wrong (AGAIN) | Dragons’ Den

Samantha Gore returns to the Den with another anti-theft device, a retro-fitting curtain closer that adds an extra step to deter thieves whilst you're away from home. She's asking for an investment of £120k in return for a 20% equity stake in Saboteur Crime Prevention.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

My problem with these kind of inventions is that crime isn't a technological issue, it's a societal one. There won't be any invention that comes along and solves crime, and the more people that have things like this the less effective they become. The way to solve crime is to build a better society where people have less reason to do crimes and have more reason to care about others. It's that simple and the more we lock ourselves behind walls of locks and alarms and security devices the more people become isolated. She mentions "how people live today maybe a lot of them don't know their neighbours", well maybe they should go and meet their neighbours. Things like this only give people more of an excuse to not get to know the people around them which is ultimately going to increase their risk of being a target of crimes like theft or burglary.
