You have to ask yourself why people do the things they do, and try to combat the issue before it becomes a regular problem.
Like Poverty, we always say that these people are lazy and should get off their asses and get a job and do good for themselves here in the western world, but there's reasons why they are where they are, and letting them fend for themselves becomes society's problem the moment they start stealing/killing/selling drugs etc in desperation.
At this is the point they start to annoy us and we say lock them up/build more prisons, kill them off. The truth on the other hand is that at this point in their life they start to cost more tax dollars to keep locked up year after year than it would've cost to have measures that would help the lowest income / most desperate families get a decent start in life before they ended up where they did.
As I said, instead of blaming thousends upon thousends of criminals start to look into the issue and ask yourself.. Why is this a problem and how do we fix this fundamental problem in society. Not saying we can get rid of crime, that's utopia, but at some point when the prisons are overcrowded and a western society execute more people than they do in third world countries we have to ask our self.. What the fuck just happened.
