Brave New World #Windrush

In Manchester, a 93-year old lady is beaten up by two black men in an attempted mugging.  Why?

The far-[true] Right: It's biological.

Social conservatives: Lack of crime control (need more police, tougher punishments, get back to foot patrols, etc.).

The Left: It's environmental.

Radical Left: It's due to white racism.

Neo-Marxists: It's class warfare.

Briefly, my thoughts and explanation:

In a country such as this, in which there is an ample social safety net, people do not generally commit crime out of need.  These men did not have a choice of robbing somebody or starving.  Crime itself is a conscious or unconscious rebellion against society.  In short, crime is war waged by the individual against the society around him.  It's the symptom of a dysfunctional society in which some people have not found a place in the hierarchy, or are unable to pursue their own path outside the hierarchy - maybe because a hierarchy no longer exists or no longer functions in any normal sense.  Unfulfilled, individuals seek to destroy society.

Solution - the restoration of society as an extended family.  This can only happen in a shared culture, which can only be the result of a folk.  

A fundamental problem is black identity.  Some blacks want to become culturally white.  Some blacks want to impose blackness or diversity on whites. Everybody needs an identity.  It is not enough just to be an individual.  Your individuality is defined within a wider frame of reference that is recognisable to you and others around you.  Without a sense of 'peoplehood', disaffection and alienation arises and crime becomes possible.
