Personal Responsibility

Crime is not caused by the environment, external circumstances, genetics, or drug addiction. Crime is a choice. A responsible person won’t commit a crime because of what he watches or reads, or because of the people he associates with. Crime will only happen if the criminal thoughts and perceptions are already in place. And, even though criminal thoughts and actions may become habitual, our crimes are not impulsive or compulsive. Sure, at times we may not be realistic in our thinking, but we are solidly in touch with reality. Most of us are not mentally insane or psychopathic with no ability to control our own actions. Even though we may act impulsively in other areas of our life, we know that certain impulses lead to arrest, so we are constantly scanning our environment in order to get away with our crimes.
