prohibit islam now although i don't like ISLAM or any religion Islam is not to blame for all the guns knives and what not POVERTY fact..
Why does a rich child 95% of the time do better than a poor person?..Why will a poor kid more likely end up in jail than a rich kid?..
Now if it's not the money then what is it

..So the fact a UNIVERSAL INCOME will stop so much crime YOU will get some greedy sods but most will use the 10k and better themselves and if they don't because that's life some get better jobs than others they still get the 10k no matter what saves going out and a hunt for money and hunting for money can take many forms some good as in jobs but some bad as in crime ..
And the less money an area has the more likely that area will have crime in many forms..
Money will make politicians do evil things why wont your average joe I mean a politician come from a woman so just the same as anyone else nothing more or nothing less..
But average joe bad for crime politician does crime an they get a pat on the back..
