What about the effect of the Internet on crime? Is the internet giving access to information and a different way of life to a lot more people? Maybe in the 50's a kid with an interest on say skydiving would feel like that would never be possible. But today the same kid contacts skydivers. And even if the kid did not actually skydive, some how being closer to it means something. Maybe skydiving is idealist. But really, could the Internet be a big factor?
