Car theft for joy riding is a really common reason for kids(!) and adolescents to end up "in the system". I don't know how many car thefts that activity accounts for, but it's got to be a non-trivial amount.
- TechBro8615 4y agoIt may be the final straw, but I'm not sure it's the proximate cause. A nice boy doesn't wake up one day and decide to steal a car for fun - there's a lot of indoctrination leading up to that before he even considers himself capable of such an act.
- yamtaddle 4y agoWell, sure, it's just a fairly-common act that gets them caught. [EDIT] I do appreciate your distinction between that being the thing that gets them caught, and its being the "reason", however.
