False
Because people can change.
Wall Street Paases
True…that is a hard habit to break
Once a crook
I think the old saying once a crook, always a crook is true because it comes down to your morals. We learn as kids stealing is wrong but some learn as long as they don’t get caught they will keep doing it.
TRUE
A leopard never changes his spots. Once a thief, always a thief.
Money Never Sleeps
Depends on the circumstance and the history of the criminal. If it was a onetime thing, it’s possible it might never happen again. However, if the crook has a history of repeated crimes, it’s likely they will continue to do and no amount of rehabilitation or jail time will change that.
There is a chance...
I beleive in some cases that there is a chance of rehabilitation. Some people can change…not all.
I think the answer is false.
I think the answer is false. It may take a severe behavioral change to alter that habit - like getting caught or going to jail, but I think in some cases that behavior can change..
I'm on fence with this one - True & False
If a person was taught as a child (I work with two who have been and brag about it) that stealing is NOT wrong and should be a part of everyday life then NO THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE even if they are repeatedly caught and punished (and they have been). On the other hand there are people who only need to try it once whether they’re caught or not to realize that those actions are wrong and they won’t repeat them, EVER. It really depends on the person and they’re mindset and morals.
Always a Crook?
not necessarily. I have known bad guys that after spending time in prison went straight and became philanthropists and good deed doers.
I say very true. Once you
I say very true. Once you have the mind of a crook, it’s always there.
