> Studies have found that people almost always age out of crime

This is in the local news today, DNA matched on a rape from 1990, the suspect was in jail already on another case. https://www.wxii12.com/article/dna-evidence-helps-winston-sa...

Yeah, people with rap sheets, I don’t think tend to age out of criminality.

Young offenders (most?), yeah, I believe they have the potential to age out as they mature and are given avenues to pursue other civil endeavors.

I know personally both kinds of cases but unfortunately the career criminals are not as rare really as they seem to be for this author
