“For the most part we judge the behaviour of others by our own, and estimate the motives and intentions which govern their behaviour by comparing them with our own instinctual urges.... Further, the ordinary person is often more potentially criminal than he is willing to believe, and sometimes unconsciously maintains his self regard by exaggerating the culpability of those who break the law.” (East, 1949)
