Self-Respect

There's an interesting piece on the L. Ron Hubbard web site on the relationship between the lack of self respect and crime.

"There is not a criminal in the world, L. Ron Hubbard tells us, whose life of crime cannot be traced to a loss of self-respect. And if we were to ask that criminal what is meant by a loss of self-respect, we would inevitably hear the most pitiful phrase imaginable: 'one day I found I couldn’t trust myself.'"

The article goes on to describe how Mr. Hubbard's technology has been used to help rehabilitate the self respect of people caught up in prison system - notorious for the incredible rate of recidivism. Criminon, which uses these breakthroughs, has had tremendous success reforming criminals.
