About this Quote

This quote by Peggy Noonan indicates that if somebody dedicates a severe criminal activity, they should be mentally unstable and therefore not responsible for their actions. This suggests that the more serious the criminal activity, the more psychologically unsteady the individual needs to be, and hence the less accountable they are for their actions. This implies that the person is not to blame for their actions, and that absolutely nothing is their fault. This quote could be interpreted as an attempt to excuse criminal behavior, as it suggests that the person is not responsible for their actions due to their frame of mind. However, it might also be analyzed as an attempt to stress the significance of psychological health and the need to acknowledge and resolve mental health problems in order to prevent criminal behavior.
