Quote History Quoted:
By the time people are caught for their first stay in the grey bar hotel they are already set in their ways, and are unable to change their basic mindset. If we are going to try and make a significant impact on crime we need to start with education. An educated population with critical thinking skills will produce less crime than what we currently have without a doubt.

I see nothing but doubt, when I see how carefree criminals are. They about little. I see no way that could possibly work, as the criminals, starting out in school, have no interest in education. Education is a joke to them.
Society has to change the mindset of criminals by striking terror into their very being.
Focusing on education does not work. That is obvious just by looking at Jefferson County Public Schools, (JCPS). They have the lowest scores in the state. They spend more per student. They have more crime. They also are focused on pointless social experiments, instead of educating those who are trying to get an education. Other counties in Kentucky do not play games by busing students around just to improve the scores of schools full of criminals.
The issue is that we have criminals as students. They must be removed. We are wasting huge amounts of resources trying to appeal to people who have absolutely no interest in bettering themselves.
As you pointed out, these criminals do not have respect for themselves. They will not motivate themselves to get an education. The sooner we can identify criminals, pursue them, and lock them away for a very long time, the sooner we can clean up our schools and the rest of society, along with possibly inspiring a few of those temped by crime to consider other options, such as considering an education.
We need to make our educational system more efficient by removing the criminal influence from society, starting with our schools.
