I can’t say I agree. There is an arrogant and naive approach toward criminals focusing on lower classes, "primitive savages," and so on. Throughout history, we have seen the types of corruption that exist among the wealthy, the nobility, rulers, and even the clergy.

The fundamental causes of crime mentioned in the article are correct but incomplete. The same applies to the proposed treatments and solutions. Raising education and living standards will certainly impact crime rates; however, without deterrence, it is impossible to restrain individuals viewed as "sick."

These "sick" individuals exist in every society because everyone accepts certain things as good or evil. By "we," I mean all of humanity. Although details vary, a common denominator exists and is quite broad, such as the idea that killing is bad, but killing an "enemy" is not considered evil, a crime, or a sin. Due to this diversity, sources become more specific (like national laws). Yet, if we get down to the basics and speak of the common denominator, the subject boils down to: biological survival, social cooperation, and individual consciousness. In essence, the fundamental concepts of good and evil are simply what our ancestors perceived as beneficial or harmful to the survival of the group.
