I actually had to look that word up.  Thanks, learned something today.  I don't disagree with you.  Most people do not turn their lives around.  My point was that someone like that is more likely to turn it around than the other types I listed.  Maybe that isnt factually correct either, I do not know honestly, but in my experience.. an abuser or sexual predator or seriel killer never turns their lives around. Where as a thief or drug user I have first hand seen them turn themselves around.
