The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague.

Summary

This quote suggests that crime behaves in a similar way to a contagious disease like the plague. It implies that criminal activities have the potential to spread rapidly and influence others, just like a contagious illness. Just as a disease can rapidly infect a population, criminal behavior can have a ripple effect, potentially inspiring and involving more individuals in the commission of illegal activities. The quote serves as a cautionary statement reminding us of the dangerous, widespread impact crime can have on society if not effectively addressed.
