The Causes Of Crime

For decades now, the left has hammered home the premise that criminals
are shaped by their past, and extenuating circumstances are legion.
"We can't be too harsh on this murderer. After all, he wasn't breast
fed, his father left home when he was three, his mother verbally abused
him, and his teachers didn't realize he had talent as an artist."
Defense lawyers make their living on this kind of approach.
Therefore, the causes of crime become submerged under a welter of
sympathetic rhetoric.
Then, on television, we are treated to numerous stories of people who
grew up under very trying circumstances, had "brushes with the law," and
finally straightened out their lives. Tales of heroism.
What about stories that recount long recovery from gunshot wounds
inflicted during robberies? Do we see those documentary segments?
No, that's politically incorrect. The criminal is the real victim.
It all comes down to this. Either a criminal is responsible for what he
did, or he isn't. Period. You can't work your way around it, unless
you're writing fiction.

*"It is incredible how as soon as a people becomes subject, it promptly
falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly
be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and so
willingly that one is led to say, on beholding such a situation, that
this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement."
