"All violent criminals are selfish: drug dealers, serial killers, serial rapists, child molesters, and murderers. They don’t think of others, just themselves.”
I'm suppose to be writing a paper supporting, or opposing the statement above for one of my Criminal Justice classes. Problem is, I can see point of views from both sides. Violent criminals are selfish, thats a given. But most of them are liars as well. Well, selfish liars parading around as citizens of society when they are incorporated back into it, or never caught to begin with. Criminally insane is another thing altogether. We can't very well try a insane person for murder, but they do need to be confined away from society.
From experience, the 'once a criminal, always a criminal' is typically true. But when you take what makes a criminal a criminal, common sense tells you they are selfish. What makes a criminal? They can make you believe whatever they want you to about them. They can make you do things, believe things, you typically wouldn't.
But when it all comes down to it, that's not just criminals. Normal citizens of society do the same things. Maybe criminals just know how to do things to where they hurt the most.
