Moreover, we know that people tend to act for their own benefit, but we donot know if this is due to human nature or other causes such as ideas learnedlater in life. If it is human nature, people live in faraway places without mucheducation would commit crimes at a higher rate than people with schooling incities. By contrast, people in remote places are more honest and kind, and thecrime rate is significantly lower than that in city. From such evidence, wecould not conclude that the above assertion is true.
While we continue to explore what causes crime and how to prevent it, weneed to bear in mind that it is far more complex than we normally think.Accordingly, measures for crime prevention should also be multidimensional.
To sum up, the conclusion that it is human nature to commit crime and thatpeople’s tendency to break the law could be stopped when they are young is notwell supported. People become criminals for many reasons and we should adoptmore effective methods for crime prevention.
