Rethinking crime and punishment | Sothie Keo | TEDxRUPP

Blame cannot be attributed solely to the individual for crimes he or she committed. Economic conditions, surroundings, and support systems play an important role in determining how much a person is at risk of becoming a criminal. Rather than blame and punish, we should instead be more focused on rehabilitation, encouragement, and support starting from family, to friends and the community, to society as a whole.
