Good point.  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?
