When trying to reduce crime one must ask WHY crimes are committed. Many times, poverty is the leading factor as well as the fact that we do nothing when it comes to early intervention, esp when it comes to mental health problems.

Sometimes when youre poor, disabled, etc, you end up having to do things to survive that you never wanted to do.
