There is no excuse for a life of crime but you would have to be living in cuckoo land to belive it is not THE major factor in crimes like muggings, robbery with violence, stealing cars, and most street crimes.. who says it is an excuse? no excuse but a fact. how many of the boys educated at Eton resort to these type of crimes?.. not many.. they are more into massive fraud.. which carry lighter sentences when convicted. This sort of "no excuse" label has been going on since the Victorian times.. of course there is no excuse.. but you can't tell me that poverty does not increase crime.
