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.
