There’s a sociologist or some such in England who interviewed thousands of inmates in England. Every single one told him that he got into crime because “I fell in with a bad lot.” He never met anyone who WAS the bad lot.
And their parents are the same way. When their little angel does monstrous things, they swear up and down that it was because they were with people who were a bad influence. Their kid is never the bad influence.
I hate to keep bringing Michael Brown up, but when his mother was saying that releasing videos of him grabbing a man’s throat because he dared follow him after being robbed was “character assassination” it was clear to me that she never raised her son to experience limitations/consequences.
So when they experience it for the first time in their lives, their outrage typically turns violent.
