What makes some people become criminals?

Is it poverty, upbringing, lack of education, unemployment or something else?

Adrenalin, I need it now, Jealousy of people who have,

Last Saturday week, a bloke I know, his missus was stabbed to death by their 25 year old son. The guy was chased off by a passer-by but came back a few minutes later with a brush for a second attack. The family is very well respected, reasonably comfortably off, Father a school principal. The son is now being held in the Central Mental Hospital in Dublin (our Broadmoor) for psychiatric assessment. As of yet, no one seems to know why he did it?????

I think that thought crosses everybody's mind when those kind of things happen. I never believe it when the users keep saying it has no long term effect. They just haven't got it.

If someone has the Bipolar problem it might lay dormant waiting for a trigger, quite often drugs are that trigger. Anything that has an Hallucinogenic effect will bring this out.

You dont go round chopping peoples heads off for no good reason, Thousands out there,

I think if we knew what makes a criminal we could then try and prevent them committing a crime

Here is a strange one in todays paper Tenerife man steals a dog and calls the owner to ask for a reward
