Ending the Culture of Street Crime

The Lifers Public Safety Steering Committee of the State Correctional Institution

This article explores the problem of crime and violence, offering a new way to look at what motivates certain individuals who habitually engage in criminal activity. Explaining the concept of the existence of a pervasive culture of crime is the primary focus of this article. It also seeks to provide a multidirectional strategy for ending that culture, which includes the utilization of former members of the culture as part of the solution.

Key Words: culture of crime • street crime • transformative justice • life-sentenced prisoners • anticrime initiatives • prisoner-community partnerships
