That while seemingly is obvious,it also seems very difficult to achieve.
Growing up in the 60's I thought it was ironic that many of the guys who became local cops were the near-do-wells in HS who were in trouble more than others. Maybe because of their numerous run ins with the police they decide to join them.
Funny, it was not the near-do-wells in HS during my time; it was the truly marginal with minimal futures that could have ended up on either side of the bars.
