There is a reason why teacher burnout rates are so high. Social conservatives tend to say that the reason for crime is criminals. The answer therefore is longer sentences, the abolition of juvenile courts and a return to the death penalty. While clearly we are all ultimately responsible for our actions, this answer is unsatisfying. It does not explain why crime has risen.
Conservatives then answer that it is because of a breakdown in moral values.
Perhaps this is true, but it s not an answer either. Welfare, subsidized daycare. You name it. The idea that child poverty is responsible for crime has always been silly. Furthermore many countries in which real poverty does exist, such as India and China, don't exhibit this social pathology.
