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.

Poverty isn't a choice, but deciding to smoke your first spliff, or your first hit of crystal meths, or shooting up heoin is, and is a major contributor to all crime in this country.
Rich or poor, we all make choices in life, and to use poverty as an excuse for crime is an insult to the millions of people legally living within their meagre means.
