Why don't they have jobs? Why has the education system failed them? Could it be that society hasn't given them the advantages it gives us? Could it be that they see that as the only way they can get money? If we were to stop thinking about punishing criminals and start thinking about preventing crime by making in unecessary, we will finally be able to call ourselves civilized. Until then... It seems funny that those European countries who do all those things we say will not stop crime have a significantly lower crime rate than us. I wonder why?
