I suppose. I'm just going off of what I've seen around me.
Bob is 15 and working at McDonald's.
Bob gets fired for stupid (in his eyes, anyway) reason.
Bob still wants money.
Bob sees a big TV in someones house while walking past.
Bob goes back later to steal said TV.
Bob then becomes a thief because he wants money and doesn't have a job and guess what? Crime pays well apparently... Until you go to prison anyway..
This is just what I've seen around me. Kids are so cotton wooled these days that if you tell them "no! bad child!" they go stupid and be all like "mum told me no, now I'm going to become a criminal to prove she can't tell me what to do, I am the one in charge after all."
If that all makes sense?
