I believe that it might not be poverty or upbringing that lead someone toward a life of crime but their need for “excitement”.  Poverty and/or upbringing might be the catalyst that pushes them over the edge but that thrill of getting away doing something illegitimate is probably the main factor. Even those with a strong moral code that prevents them acting out in ways to hurt others might find ways of excitement that hurt themselves.  This is probably one of the main reasons people will try illicit drugs even though they know someone else who has been harmed by this substance.  Therefore we need to find out those individuals who have such traits and insure that they utilize it for more productive and positive pursuits.   Whether it be working on a cutting edge project, learning the excitement of education, being involved in artistic and/or athletic pursuit  or taking a risk with starting a new business there are plenty of ways this trait can be used for good.
