Some do. But criminals today have a different mentality, they think its cool and part of their flash.
Only a small, small minority. Ones who have done time for rape, murder, robbery, dealing big time weight the harder crimes---tend to be quiet (don't want to get caught again, or don't want attract attention to themselves) the stupid ones who don't care, and get caught again, act out.
Petty thieves, low end drug dealers, drug users---many times they act like they are King Kong...
I deal with them on the job. It never fails, the petty weed user or disorderly wants to act big and bad---like a thug on tv. The dude who stabbed someone is cool as as cucumber.
