My view is the most people (not all) are inherently good inside Thus the vast majority of robbers are suffering from an illness, and not inherently evil Which means most (not all) are not actually trying to harm people, just satisfy an economic need or a craving Yeah, a crime deserves a punishment. But you have to factor in what is driving the crime. Is it economic despair? Drug addiction? Or a person's act of free will? So to deal with robbery and other crimes you have to understand what is the root cause of it, and apply the remedy for that illness > O CHILDREN OF MEN! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory. > > -Bahá’u’lláh
