You make it sound so black and white when in reality everything is gray.
I happen to know a few "criminals" and they're not bad people they just choose to do shady stuff. Although I've met a few that i instinctively distanced myself from because you can tell they're always out to trick you or get something from you it's usually not that simple.
Some of them were even punished way out of proportion to the severity of their crime.
I don't know if most kids have the skill to deal with these people and since the crafty ones come off as overly friendly they might even get lured in.
It's probably not idea to mix clueles teens with street smart criminals.
