"SANE people don't commit crimes because they fear punishment for them."

You raise an interesting point. From personal observation some habitual/career criminals seem to prefer it and yet it would be difficult to have them diagnosed as insane. Maybe it introduces an excitement to life. Maybe they have a feeling of sticking it to the man. Maybe they're utterly convinced they'll get away with it this time in spite of past experience. Maybe they're convinced that next time they'll really hit on the big one. OTOH for some it seems to be the only thing they can do, being unable to hold down a regular job.

Maybe it's just an extension of the fact that we're all different; after all, even here some of us seem to prefer working in regular employment while some prefer freelance and others to run a business employing others.
