  • Something to do with poor distribution of wealth. The fact that the gap between the poor and wealthy has grown to ridiculous proportions and that social mobility is apparently worst now than 40 years ago.

    Bullshit...

    Really!
    Why don't you post your address - it would make easier to redistribute the wealth for the estate scum.

    Yes, they are a product of society, but not all chose the life of crime and it's patronising assuming, that they cannot achieve anything only because they are underprivileged.

    Trunks is correct that inequality has grown and social mobility declined in the UK. These are facts. Capitalism systematically creates wide distributions of wealth, opportunities and life conditions. Poverty and deprivation generate crime. Just because some people can deal with it doesn't mean that all can. In any case, corporate crime far outweighs street crime in total costs to society, and you are really quite safe despite the sensationalization of isolated violent crimes.

    You are deceived by a sense of self-worth exaggerated by delusions of your own individual moral worth and self control (which make you discount the different material and psychological conditions of others) and by capitalist mythology (hegemony) that has you scared of poor people when the wealthy are robbing you blind.
