NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, USA, February 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Crime is defined as evil, and those who break the law are labeled criminals. They are mistreated in jail.

At the 4th R Foundation, we have identified the single fundamental factor that leads to criminal nee emotionally challenged behavior. Through upbringing, we create roughly four levels of self-images as follows:
