Phylogeny and the Evolutionary Tree of Life

The idea that people commit crimes because they are intrinsically evil versus the truth is a fundamental attribution error. Because of these entrenched social problems like poverty and racism, if we can start working on correcting these things preventively, we don't have to rely on punitive responses. And you don't need to keep too many people out of jail to pay for a lot of prevention as keeping people in jail is expensive. But sadly, it also makes a lot of money for privatized industry.
