Your answer reminds me an awful lot of Sarah Palin's answer when asked which newspapers she read: "All of them."

Care to provide some examples of these traumas that cause certain people to commit crimes?

And you didn't answer the second part of my question to you. What alternatives to incarceration do you suggest to keep society safe from these broken individuals while they're being treated? Treatment for trauma-induced psychological and behavioral issues is a lengthy, sometimes lifetime, endeavor.

Further, what if the individual refuses treatment?

one of the many links you could find via googling is given below:

The SJWs will always jump to blame poverty and racism for this. There are much more poverty-stricken populations in asian and eastern european societies than black americans, but teen pregnancy might be under an even better control there than those among the privileged white american population.


In my original culture, pre-adult sex (pregnancy) is illegal and there is also a "shame" value attached to it from the society to help reduce the incidence.

For those poor african countries to develop and modernize, they need to act on reducing their crime first, as simple as yet. A safe society doesn't guarantee prosperity, but crime-ridden societies will never be able to achieve or sustain prosperity. If you learn to tolerate and live with crime, crime will grow like weed and eventually derail our civilization. Don't take your current living standard for granted. We ought to thank those who risk their own safety to enforce L&O to ensure a livable condition for us.

"Traumas". What kind of pathetic argument is this?

We literally have people in NYC who arrived from some of the poorest countries in the world or war zones and yet they don't have the same proclivities as these young thug's running around shooting random people.

The only people who believe/use these stupid excuses are politicians (because they're buying votes), race hustlers, and people who act like animals themselves.

To the bolded, is that your opinion, or factual?

What does sub-saharan Africa have to do with the USA?

Really? Care to provide some examples of the bolded, or are these more of your dubious claims?
