I read this book fifteen or so years ago. The author was on the staff of Regan. It exhibits this.It is a complete distortion. For one thing, it doesnot make a distinction,in explaining crime and poverty, of the what and how of causes. Like a combination lock, a series of causes(the number sequence) can open ornot the lock of criminal behavior. Poverty is a seriesof experiences that can come at one differently. The 'fact' of poverty can happen differently for differentpersons, thus leading to crime. The author of this book ignores that a series of experiences(causes)canbe different.
