I disagree on that one, 90% of them get in the life of crime when they are still teens 15-16 years old , because they have no other choice, in rich parts there is almost no crime , especially no organized crime , because people have other choices , no one will join that life because they want to live a life of crime , sure there are some but thats like 10% of them.

Take a look at whats happening in Naples with kids joining Camorra,they have no idea about the life they want to have at 15 years old , but they need new clothes, new shoes , new phone and so on , to impress surroundings ,they can't get it from parents because of bad economic situation, easiest way to get that stuff ? Well crime.
