How is this not just another way of saying "some people are inherently criminal by their nature"?
- kayodelycaon 4y agoNot OP, but it's about the situation, not something fundamental to the person. I'd also add there is nuance here. Not everyone in a situation will behave the same way. What's changing is the tendency towards behavior due to environment.
- cmeacham98 4y agoSo you believe that in the same situation all people are equally likely of committing a crime? So everybody in the US just has a random small chance of becoming a school shooter or serial killer? I assume you support complete elimination of the criminal justice system and courts then, because in your worldview it seems criminals have no agency and the chance of them committing a crime is 100% a function of their environment.
