0:00Do you think there is a difference in
0:01terms of subsequent rehabilitation ,
0:03risk of recidivism , and social
0:05reintegration between someone with
0:06pre-existing delinquent tendencies who
0:08was in a group that habitually
0:09committed crimes or engaged in
0:11misconduct , and someone who was
0:12isolated , lived a life removed from
0:14crime , and committed an offense due to
0:16a sudden surge of emotion or impulse ?
0:18There are certainly two patterns here .
0:19There’s the pattern where a
0:21delinquent type commits a crime , and
0:22the pattern where a serious person
0:24loses control and commits a crime . Or
0:25cases like groping , yes , sex crimes ,
0:28where someone who isn’t a delinquent
0:30at all , a perfectly normal person ,
0:32commits a crime . First , let's look at
0:34the case where a so-called delinquent
0:36commits one . If I had to choose , I’d
0:38say I’m more familiar with this type .
0:40For these people , the key point for
0:42starting over — for rehabilitation — is
0:44whether they can sever ties with their
0:46peers . Since many of them become
0:47criminals because they were influenced
0:49by others , they need to redo , or rather
0:51, rebuild their human relationships . If
0:53they can rebuild good relationships ,
0:55they are easily influenced by those
0:56around them , so I think rehabilitation
0:58is actually quite feasible . Therefore ,
1:00for those delinquent types , it is
1:02crucial to replace their delinquent
1:04peers with decent human relationships .
1:06Next is the pattern where someone who
1:07isn't a delinquent commits a crime . In
1:09these cases , rather than being swayed
1:11by others , from what I have seen ,
1:13it’s often about anger management —
1:15or rather , a struggle to control their
1:17temper . Regarding things like groping ,
1:19I see it as an addiction , so I think
1:21that’s a matter for a hospital . I
1:23think they should just receive
1:25treatment . I’m not sure if anger
1:27management can be treated medically ,
1:28but instead of just reflecting on their
1:30crime , I believe they should work on
1:32fixing their underlying personality
1:34issues or character traits . So I think
1:36the way it's structured is a bit
1:37different . Yes .
