There's nothing that can be done to fix the kids already fucked up. But we can minimize the chances of these kids becoming criminals by spending money on universal pre-k education. Sure, you can have the attitude that you shouldn't have to pay taxes so someone else's kid can have free pre-school -- but you just might stop the creation of your future murderer.
It wouldn't make every child a great learner and a saint, but the ones who grow up in a house where they have no shot at a good start should be given the chance. You start making a good adult by making a good child, and it has be early. The cycle goes on because bad adults raise more bad kids. Once they've started down this path at that young an age, jail is inevitable.
