Document Summary

The systematic absence of loving, capable, and responsible adults to teach children right from wrong. Foster care and removal of kids from homes. A breakdown in the inculcation of moral values and healthy social behavior. Families, schools and mass media are institutions to blame and also the ones who offer rehabilitation. Defusing blame it is the parents and family that are truely responsible. Call for renewal of religious faith and strengthening of the church. People can commit crime and blame the devil. There are plenty of good people who are not involved in religion, and there are plenty of people who are religious that commit crimes. The moral approach attempted to debunk the usual sociological explanations for criminal and delinquent behavior. Us imprisons too many people (. 7% of the population) Drug abuse is not victimless - it instead contributes to generalized vice and criminal behavior.
