Is obeying the laws due to fear of getting caught and punished, or do people prefer to obey laws they believe are right and in everyone's best interest?
Isn't it true that people will have different motivations for following laws?
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

Isn't it just as true that many of those who do break the law may have different motives for doing so?
In that case, do you think the phrase "think like a criminal" can be misleading in its simplicity?
Why would you like to think like a criminal?

Let nothing you dismay.

Doesn't it matter more which way most people are selfish in rather than the mere fact of being a bit selfish in general?
Do varying types of selfishness make certain types less-bad?

Isn't the worst type of selfishness the type where it shows up in bad behaviour?
Is disregard for others included in bad behaviour?

Isn't considering other people's rights of far less importance than one's own the main reason for crimes?
Shouldn't we be focusing more on the problem at hand rather than such philosophical questions?
