Sometimes, as can be seen in your analysis on abortion and crime, we have weird ideas on what causes crime? Much of what we believe and why we believe it is based on myth. So, based on your readings, what are crime myths? What are common myths about crime that you believed prior to becoming a criminal justice major? How do crime myths shape the way we perceive crime? What are the problems inherent with crime myths? How is good research and policy able to help combat these myths?

I am looking for a detailed explanation with references, please.
