Review: Great - Enjoying. Easy read and keeps my interest.
Review: Blunt and Illuminating - Samenow takes us on a blunt tour through the criminal mind. He first begins by bringing up things that society tends to use to explain why some people are criminals: poverty, racism, religious fervor, etc. Then Samenow deconstructs these reasonings to demonstrate that, for the most part, being a criminal is due to errors of thinking. (He also points out a couple times that not *everybody* in these situations terrorizes their community. In fact, most don't.) Criminals are typically selfish (although not in every arena of life), hypocritical, narcissistic, able to shut off their conscience, desire control, want immediate payoff for efforts, etc. Even "crimes of passion" are just the endpoint of a fantasy the person has been entertaining for a long time. Crime becomes a way to achieve excitement, power, control, influence, money--whatever they have their eyes on. It's not that poverty and what not don't play a role, it's that these are only factors. What makes a criminal a criminal really comes down to faulty thinking, although of course some will be incorrigible due to severe mental illness. But when we present reasons for a murder, theft, etc., the criminal latches onto these in order to dodge responsibility. Nothing is ever their fault. It's always parents, a boss or coworker, or society, or they were justified in what they did. They'll try to, for example, blame dope for their ways. Samenow points out that, if you look in these people's histories, the vast majority of them were already committing some kind of crime. Or, if not committing crimes, terrorizing people, which is just one step down. Shoplifting and bullying seemed the most popular to me. What happened was the dope got the criminal to the point of arrest. Samenow presents quite a few of his past "clients" (if you will). Some of them I felt a little bad for, and some of them I would happily pay to put on a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific somewhere. Like Terry. If your blood doesn't boil reading about Terry, you need to go to the nearest priest to see if you still have a soul. There is hope for those who genuinely want to reform! Like anybody with messed up thought patterns, a criminal dedicated to change can learn to be a "civilized", responsible human being. It's a lifelong process, sort of like an alcoholic in recovery. If you're an alcoholic in recovery, it never stops. It's a choice you make every day. Same thing when rehabilitating from a criminal mindset. You learn to take responsibility, to tame anger and entitlement, etc every. Single. Day. This book was an eye-opener. At times I thought Samenow was too hard on people who were given a bad lot in life, but too many stories were of people from stable or even affluent backgrounds, people who put themselves in their bad lot, etc. I still have some sympathy for some criminals, but definitely a lot less after reading this book. One of my trashy hobbies is to watch bodycam videos. After reading this book, I see those videos in a *very* different light. Once you're aware of the errors of thinking, you can see them falling out of people's mouths like a rubber ball down a set of spiral stairs.
