Lessons for kerb crawlers instead of court

Evening Standard
04.07.08

Men caught kerb crawling are to be sent on courses to change their behaviour.

Offenders in Tower Hamlets classed as low-level and who admitted soliciting prostitutes for sex have been given the choice of being given a caution and paying £200 to go on the course or being charged and making a public appearance in court.

The Change Course classes aim to examine the effect of the men's behaviour on their wives and girlfriends, and on women working in the sex industry.
