People taking personal responsibility for their actions would go a long way.
I'm sick of the "oh he was beaten as a child" type shit I so often read about. Back in the day socially accepted means of disciplining children are regarded as child abuse today. Knowing the difference between right and wrong is not rocket science. Most criminals elect to do what they do through choice, motivated by greed and by the fact that they can't be bothered doing a day's honest work so they feel it is their right to take from others.
Playing the victim and using that as an excuse is a loser's attitude. There are a lot of low-paid law abiding citizens who've experienced hardship too.
