    Is this fact or feeling?

    People I know that work with criminals attest that the vast majority of crimes are opportunistic encounters by ordinary people and “career criminality” is rare.

    Of course “I know people who say” isn’t much fact either but it’s more then nothing.

            Tangentially related material to garner favor from other fake, emotionally dependent, reactionary, hyper online, social rejects.

          Agreed, it doesn’t address that putting someone in jail did or didn’t prevent them from committing more crimes. Then a study is linked that focuses almost entirely on the economic aspect of jails, again not the topic. But this crowd isn’t open to an honest convo, they’re the hyperbolic “all people in group X are Y” kind folks. Not a lot of room for nuance in these convos when they can’t even stay in topic then come at you for calling out a nothing response.

      Are these people working with repeat offenders though? Or those going through the system for the very first time?
