As others have pointed out, criminals don't THINK. They act, often out of raw emotion. They didn't and don't have good plans in life, hence their current situations. Most of us plan our lives out, Vocational training, College, small buisness, careers, Trades, 401K plans, Pensions, insurance, property, vacations, familys, etc. We PLAN to not only sustain, but for our future, and that of our offspring. We have goals, long and short term. Criminals goals consist of the "Big Score", and the next "High". They live expecting entitlements. They rarely use their minds, at least for pro social objectives. They don't THINK, either due to chemical dependency, cognitive limitations, lack of maturity or a combination of the aforementioned. They are indeed different... very different. Poor planning in life can lead to desperation. Desperate people do desperate things. We, as law abiding members of society can only accept this as reality and plan accordingly.
