Violent crimes are most often perpetrated by people raised in impersonal, violent or neglectful families. These people have never been shown how important people are. Interpersonal closeness has not been a part of their daily life. Life taught them that people are to be used, stolen from, or treated roughly to get their needs met.

Strong, healthy families produce law-abiding people.
