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.
Living near Naples I can say that: many boys are sons of people who spent most of his live in prison. The only way to change this situation is to create job as Strax said.
But the only big bussiness men wont spent an euro because would pay the Camorra.
