After you've talked to career criminals, you come to realise that some people are just "wired wrong". There's no such thing as rehabilitation for such people. And there's no such thing as non-premeditated "crime of opportunity" - crimes don't happen unless the people who commit them have taken the time to decide that a particular action is something they would be willing to do.
