Education and crime
October 30, 2016 at 8:52 pm
I have always wondered the relation between education and crime. To be more specific, the next question: why do educated people become criminals?

The organized crime, such as the mafia, is composed by people with education. Many of its members are engineers, economists, etc. If education is supposed to keep people out of crime, then why does this happen? I know some of you may say "greed", and it is true. But I want to go deeper. I want a better explanation. I believe there are more complex answers to this phenomenon.

What impulses someone with education to seek a life of crime rather than an honest life?
