I think education is a major factor in ALL things.
For instance, an African woman with just a 3rd grade education is TREMENDOUSLY less likely to have children she can't take care of.

I think we need to take care of it at it's source. I like the concept PC was talking about, for the rehabilitation, but it REALLY has to start sooner than that.
The ones more likely to commit crimes in the first place are likely those without a successful education. I know there's probably statistics out there to back this up, but I'm too lazy to get them today.
But it's for a long time been my belief that the majority of the world's problem arise from being unfair to the next generation: Not educating them, not protecting them, not disciplining them, not instilling morals (Note: not religion, just morals), etc.
