Interesting and apt analogy WoF. Only trouble is I think the reason for the 'bad soil' if you want, is that fundamentally humans are self centered, emotionally unstable, unpredictable and ucnaring individuals by nature, and it is only nurture that makes most people good. Withotu law and order, or a sense of morality, we'd all be criminals, yet there'd be no such classification as no law structure would be present.

I think what drives people to crime is either a perosnal feeling of being wronged, an emotional breakdown, deep-rooted natural instability (such as a twisted ego or sense of pleasure), or a lack of law and discipline in early years. Many criminals were often little shits when young, yet by the same token many were not, hence the other classifications/ possible explanations.
