When Eric becomes Jack

When Eric becomes Jack, is the former murderer really rehabilitated and is no longer dangerous? This is the focus of the news, because it must be the focus of the public's eyes.

When Eric becomes Jack, the case in "Boy A" is that Jack has a very loving psychological counselor, Terry, who fully assists Jack's new identity, new life, new job, new friend, and new love. For Jack, being in prison for a long time means that this is a completely unfamiliar adventure. The price of this adventure may be to enjoy the happy ending of friends, love and work without flaws, but it may also be recognized. The hopeless ending of the past without freedom and life. He may not have much courage, but he has a very positive attitude to the unfamiliar response of Jack, who is terrified and looking forward to the unknown future.

When Eric became Jack, he succeeded, he did a good job, he succeeded in making new friends, having a girlfriend, and playing his subconscious goodness and becoming a hero. Jack's success is inseparable from Terry. To be Jack means to have a new identity and enter an environment with a different past. It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult for me to get the answer from "Boy A". After all, Eric's evil is not inherent evil, but from evil, from evil, that is, the evil induced by the environment, to put it bluntly, it is Phillip's ill effects.
Even though I believe that human beings are inherently evil, the magic of the environment often strikes me. If I were in an environment like Eric's, I wouldn't necessarily be much better than him. The reason why Eric became a murderer was that environmental factors played a decisive role, neglect of family affection, and friends wrongly taught him how to release his emotions. After being released from prison and becoming Jack, Terry's father-like care and guidance, the affirmation of friends, and the nourishment of love all exude positive energy.
With this kind of energy, can Jack completely get rid of the past and return to the right? It's hard for me to say no, because Eric doesn't seem to me by nature to be a great evil person, and his evil has its own tragic element. Unless, the subconscious violent factor can be acquired deep in the cerebral cortex and become a time bomb that everyone fears. Isn't what people worry about most is the fear that the animal nature of this dangerous human body has not been removed?
Sadly, in "Boy A", the ticking time bomb is not dangerous violence, but the public's reaction after being recognized, is the social identity after the prisoner is shaped into a new identity, an ordinary person.

If Eric hadn't turned into Jack, after he was released from prison, he would still be living in the environment where he had nothing to talk about when he was young, lonely, flustered, and desperate for help but didn't respond, and there was the next ghost of Phillip. No one dares to endorse him, he will get better, no one dares. Environmental determinism, sometimes, you have to obey.

Whether or not Eric turned into Jack, sometimes, a person's eyes betray everything. 3 days ago, a district court sentencing meeting was held in the unit where intimidation and show were more than substantive. wanted answer. I don't care who gets frightened, who doesn't dare to break the law, who gets angry, who wants to do justice for heaven. I just want to know, if one day, these prisoners have a new identity, can he also become Jack. But I'm pretty reservations about the answer, because it's not Jack that we're missing, it's Terry.

Back to the most human topic.
Human nature, after all, how much can we be sure.
In Boy A, we can be sure that the environment is complete or indispensable. But sometimes, people don't see this fact. Or, in the gray-hued Isle of England, it's easy to be pessimistic.
