The Confidence World as a Criminal Behavior System

To speak of criminal behavior is to discuss a wide area of human activity. The law defines as criminal a great variety of acts which range from those of a violent nature to those which are non-violent and impersonal. They differ in time and in place. There is no certain knowledge as to which factor or congeries of factors tend to produce criminal behavior in the individual, for those who are convicted of crime come from all strata of our society and from all walks of life.
