So many communities are experiencing unbridled crime.
Kids are engaging in this too easily.
While I don't know what is the solution, I have this model for the problem:
1. A sense of a personal moral bearing keeps you in check
-- When that isn't in place--
2. A fear that your community or family will abandon you
-- When that isn't in place--
3. The Law
We're at the level of The Law for many.
We need to solve the problem all the way back to #1.

I agree that a certain level of despondency is being reached. And, I think kids are more susceptible to it than the more hardened adults around us.
What do you think is at the core of this condition?
