This view is too simplistic and does not fully reflect the actual situation. The occurrence of criminal behavior is often the result of a complex combination of factors, including personal growth environment, economic status, education level, mental health problems and social structure. The following points can help us understand this issue more comprehensively: 1. Individual differences: Everyone's experience, motivation and ability to change are different. Some people achieve self-transformation through education, psychological counseling and vocational training after returning to society; while others may repeat their mistakes due to insufficient external support and the influence of the recidivism environment. 2. Social and institutional support: Effective correction and rehabilitation measures, such as community corrections, psychological counseling, vocational training and social inclusion, can help criminals rebuild a normal life. Studies have shown that a sound system and social support system can significantly reduce the recidivism rate and allow many people who have made mistakes to get back on track. 3. The problem of recidivism rate: Indeed, many studies have shown that in some countries and regions, the recidivism rate is high, partly because the society has a large prejudice and discrimination against ex-offenders, which leads to their restrictions in employment and social interaction, causing them to return to the road of crime. But this does not mean that all former criminals are doomed to be unable to reform, but rather reflects problems with social integration and support systems. 4. Change is a process: It is difficult to completely change a person's behavior and habits overnight, and usually requires a gradual and continuous adjustment process. In this process, personal willingness, psychological state, external support, and changes in one's own cognition are all very critical factors. In short, it cannot be generalized that former criminals usually will not completely change their bad habits. In fact, with proper education, social support, and personal efforts, many people have the potential to truly reform and integrate into mainstream society. The key is how to create an environment that is conducive to rehabilitation and change, while respecting the individual's growth trajectory and possibility of change.
