People who had horrible experiences, and childhoods are not responsible for their actions? Are you currently working as a public defendant?
Could you explain your theory further?
Does God intervene to convert, when a person is willing to allow God into their lives?

I agree with you here, just giving someone religion without any real physical or supernatural help is just a band-aid on a bullet wound.
Restoration takes time and work with everyone involved.

I understand what you mean, but I was a witness of the accident of church sister's son, when he flipped his Stingray bicycle broke his arm, and she quietly knelt by his side, silently prayed, and the boy's arm was healed.
While I believe that individuals have the "faith" to allow God to perform the impossible, I also understand that Jesus Himself (God in the flesh) asked people to leave the room, and while visiting His home town could not perform many miracles. Taking that all into consideration one needs to know what they are dealing with, in order to see the impossible change before their eyes.
People have a free will and not only need our prayers but need our positive actions. In order to change their minds towards rehabilitation, and restoration.
