I read years ago, probably pre-internet, that people who intervene to help crime victims are often people who tend to act impulsively, and therefore had been in trouble with the police and were not very successful in other parts of life. It takes a variety of kinds of people for a successful society.

Two of the men who helped take down the London Bridge terrorist were convicted felons, one of whom was a murderer serving the final stage of his sentence.
A number of civilians detained and disarmed 28-year-old Usman Khan after he began attacking people near London Bridge just before 2 p.m. on Friday.
Amongst them were James Ford, convicted of murdering 21-year-old Amanda Champion in 2004, and ex-offender Marc Conway, now working as a policy officer for the Prison Reform Trust.
