No, there is no certainty that if Bob had not gone to the West he would not have turned out to be a criminal. The West didn't make him a criminal. He went there because it seemed to offer opportunities for criminal activities. He tells the plainclothes officer who asks if he did well out West: “Bully; it has given me everything I asked it for."
