We are not alone in the world when it comes to facing too many unwelcome incidences of crime in our country. We are not alone in seeking to make excuses for the criminal. We hear them everywhere – unemployment, diminished educational opportunities, ‘us versus them’ and other traditional sops to those inclined towards wrong-doing.
I am amazed that reporters allow persons to claim that students who go to “the other schools” are somehow disadvantaged, with the inference that they therefore are likely to veer towards crime.
