If he stays on the straight and narrow, no decent person would label him as such.
His upbringing is likely to mean he is more likely to fall off the straight and narrow than those who benefit from more stable family backgrounds. Kids like him need help before they get in trouble, not labelling afterwards. Prevention, as the good doctor said, is better than cure - especially when the cures we have (most notably prison) are so hopelessly ineffective.
