10. Translate the following text into English:
Швеция прославилась своим гуманным отношением к людям, преступившим закон. Особый интерес вызывают качественно новые подходы к решению задач борьбы с преступностью в рамках исправительных учреждений. В основе альтернативных программ лежит идея, состоящая в том, что преступление порождается обществом. Социальной средой, сформировавшей нарушителя. Преступники становятся таковыми из-за жизненных невзгод, только особо опасных преступников следует заключать в тюрьму – изолировать от общества. В связи с этим в Швеции, стране с высоким уровнем жизни, совершенно иная тенденция борьбы с преступностью: в большинстве случаев мера наказания за совершенные преступления – это не заключение под стражу, а взимание штрафов и пробация, то есть надзор за условно осужденными или досрочно освобожденными. Существует также специальные медицинские учреждения, которые оказывают психологическую помощь нарушителям закона. И построены так называемые промышленные тюрьмы, где заключенные работают в цехах и мастерских.53

Miranda Morgan: A drug addict guilty of selling heroin to teenagers. Has already tried two unsuccessful drug treatment programs. Has a two year old child who will have to go into care if she goes to jail.
Mick Brown: Guilty of vandalism and football hooliganism. 19 years old and below average intelligence. Aggressive and gets violent when drunk. One previous offence for drunken driving.
