Bandits and outlaws

I like watching Robbin Hood, well i dont believe its ok to steal even if you are poor.Social bandit or social crime is a term invented by the historian Eric Hobsbawm in his 1965 classic study of popular forms of resistance, Primitive Rebels. He further expanded the field in the 1969 study, Bandits. Social banditry is a widespread phenomenon known in many societies and some argue that it still exists in remote areas and on high seas (pirates). Later social scientists have also discussed the term's applicability to more modern forms of crime, like street crime and the drug economy. i have found an article which was interesting:


Jesses James was a gang leader a robber, train murder, bad guys can be seen as good like Robin Hood he helps the poor people which i believe is good but he does it by stealing.sometimes people live out of the law because the law system inst fair.
