What about solicting for prostitution?

Would those same teens still be out wandering the streets late at night, letting disgusting old men penetrate them without a johnny for twenty quid anyway, even if they weren't desperate to score?

You could be on to something here.

Perhaps similarly, some are born, genetically predisposed to be woefully naive.

I'm not saying genetically programmed to do anything. I'm saying that those who are disposed to be law breakers are quite often drawn to the drug scene because it's illegal but not all drug users are law breakers apart from using the drug, which is of course illegal. Many people have taken drugs but not (other than the drug use itself) broken the law. I am also aware that some people have funded use by theft but I think that the numbers are overstated. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that it's not the norm.
