Why does the story's setting
pose a problem for would be

If they know its harsh environment and the equipment they would have to carry in order to even survive, let alone escape, I doubt that they would be trying to pull off crimes.

Read this excerpt from “Hope, Despair, and Memory” by Elie Wiesel and answer the question.
