[QUOTE="aabokla, post: 22058, member: 240"] Michael, While many criminals would seem to fit into the profile you described, I'm curious about three issues surrounding your assessment. The first issue is that I noticed that you made no mention of any socio-economic placement. While common sense would seem to favor that those most without would be the first to see crime as a viable option, have you found that to be true in your experiences? Is a poor person really more likely to commit a crime than someone from the middle or upper class? Even those in the middle class can look with considerable envy towards others who have more than them. Also, do criminals tend to go after other people within their own socio-economic group or do they tend to concentrate their crimes on persons appearing to have more wealth who by happenstance venture into their field of view? My second issue concerns those persons with emotional and/or mental instability or disability. I'm very curious to know how often TPD is called out to handle this sort of issue. My final question, concerns the predatory nature of criminals. Are most crimes commited spur of the moment based on opportunity or are they thought out and planned? Adrian [/QUOTE]
