Summary

This quote suggests that understanding crime starts with self-reflection. It indicates that the negative aspects we dislike, reject, and condemn in others are often present within ourselves. In other words, the study of crime should involve acknowledging our own potential for wrongdoing, as it is only by knowing ourselves that we can effectively address and deter criminal behavior in society. By recognizing and understanding our own flaws, we lay the foundation for developing empathy, compassion, and effective strategies to prevent and address crime.
