You don't need to participate criminal acts yourself to be an eyewitness to the destruction the criminal acts can cause. I grew up in the streets of New Orleans and I had both immediate and extended family members who were drug dealers and abusers. Just because I did not smoke weed personally does not mean I do not have first hand, eyewitness experience of the destruction it causes. Seeing the destruction with one's own eyes does not make it hearsay.
