Your poor understanding of statistics is even worse. There are multiple studies that prove the prediction to commiting certain crimes.
1. Single parenthood
2. Abuse as a child
3. Poor socioeconomic status
4. Genetics
5. Malnutrition
i can look up studies for each and every one of these if you want.
This however doesn’t excuse crime by anyone falling under these things. But as government trying to combat crime, you can’t ignore these as a way of addressing crime.
Correlation does not imply causation, although I will agree on single parenthood as an important factor. The breakup of the family unit is well known to create criminals out of offspring, and the ANC has contributed plentifully towards this with many of their leftist poicies. But we are getting off track.
What we do agree on though is that the law should be equitably and fairly applied, so we are getting somewhere.
In a society where there are predictable and well defined consequences for actions, businesses will flourish, the economy can grow, which results in less poverty and better socio-economic conditions for all. So to my point, the ANC have, through their policies of BEE , AA, legislative meddling, draconian labour laws and support of unions, created an environment where businesses are stifled and cannot flourish. And to top it, they have captured and hollowed out the security agencies and judiciary, allowing for inequitable application of the law, if any at all. No wonder we have record levels of crime.
