I've never studied criminology but I don't think there's a group of people who can be classified as "criminal" ; I think we all have the capability to act in a way which

Err The Mafia, Comorra in Naples, Triads, Gang familes in Manchester, London etc. Individuals such as The Krays and Kenneth Noye etc. I am of the opinion that there are indeed groups of people who do choose crime as an easy way of life

hello and welcome to FG

..so if you've never studied criminology, in what capacity are you in defense work? i am just curious since i have a law degree as well as do what i do, bust criminals' butts. criminology is my passion in life.we could have some interesting conversations!

But surely the fact that they exercise choice implies that there's nothing inherently criminal in their character/personality and they could just as easily choose something else. Also, certain behaviour is designated criminal activity at certain times. For example, selling cocaine used not to be prohibited but that activity now would attract a lengthy custodial sentence. johnny cochran lives!

let me be more specific...who gives a rat's arse if they could have chosen a different way of life? so bloody what? what they did choose victimizes everyone. and i clean up the mess.
