Why would anyone believe that criminal tendencies are related to a person's family?
Why would anyone believe that criminal tendencies are related to a person's culture, race, or ethnicity?
As far as I know, crime tends to bunch up in neighborhoods, areas, and towns but not entire cities.
Of course, this means that everyone living in a neighborhood or area with crime rates is committing those crimes. Everyone!
If that city up there has crime and that city down there has crime and you live in either city - you must be commuting crimes!
The logic is irrefutable.
Just so everything is clear:
- That city over there has crime.
- You live in that city.
- You are commiting crimes.
Makes sense, right? If a certain type of crime is a "That City" problem but not a "This City" problem, what are the possible reasons?
It can't be people. Both cities have people and people aren't a problem in This City" so it must be purely due to "That City".
It's completely backwards.
Here's the worst part. It's actually possible to cause an increase with a certain type of crime I for a city - given enough time.
That's when then ugliest phrase of all time gets used.
"You want to know who did this to your city? You did!"
Would you like to know how a program intended to deter and prevent crime has actually been driving it up because it's based on a flawed concept of how the human mind works?
Soon, someone with no formal training or education or experience in things relationship or psychological will soon be claiming that the first type of crime with convictions that need to be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY stricken from the books is:
All criminal convictions
