Thinking, communicating, and cooperating start at home. If you can't set a good example for your family ("your" in the broader meaning) then when they get older or out in the world, they're going to approach life with the examples you've given them.

It doesn't matter what they read in some book, or what people tell them. People do what feels normal to them. If communication isn't a normal behavior, if cooperation isn't something they've seen in action, all the talk in the world won't get them out of their familiar/safety zone.

And a person can say "we need to communicate, cooperate, and think" all they want. but if they don't practice it, then it's only words. That's why I say it starts at home. If mommy and daddy say "you're supposed to do this, it's important" and yet they do the opposite, their children are going to internalize what they SEE, not what they hear.

Society is just a bunch of people in one place, and criminal justice just deals with people who care more about themselves than they care about anyone else (ultimately)... I think that the criminality rate would go down a bit if people learned good interrelational skills in the home. It would better prepare them for dealing with people at large in such a way that it's easier for them to achieve their goals.
