This cure is part of our art therapy program and it is available in our art pharmacy at the wealth counter (because it offers ways to gain wealth that are alternative to the criminal ways). Thanks to generous donations all our art therapy products are free at present. Before we can start concocting a crime solution tha actually works, we need to dig for the root causes of crime. Only then we can find the right solutions that deal directly with the source of the problem, as opposed to limiting ourselves to dealing with the symptoms through punishment measures. 10 causes of crime article provide resources to identify the source(s) of the disorder, as well as suggesting solutions. There is no single cause to any disorder, including crime. While clearly we are all ultimately responsible for our own actions, it is wrong to hold an individual wholly responsible for his unlawful act. There are certain factors in our societies, cultures (family values), system (educational, political, law-enforcement...), economy, and so on that endorse the potential of criminal activities of an individual. An organization as a whole should take a part of the blame in order to transform the conditions in which criminal-minds breed.
