From my own idea, hunger can cause a very big menace to our society and lead to insecurity, there's a saying "a hungry man is an angry man" and we all know that when humans are angry most times what comes into our thoughts are bad ideas.
There are many factors whereby Hunger can cause insecurity in our society such as.
1, Financial instability in a family.
2, lack of contentment: in a case where a child is from a family where they get little or nothing to eat, it can lead the child to steal from friends or get food from strangers.
3, lack of knowledge in terms of providing food, which can also lead to stealing.
4, Poor governance: lack of basic amenities or job creation by the government can lead to a poor society, thereby causing theft, and robbery.
5, Natural Disaster: a community affected by natural would experience shortage of food that can lead to hunger, forcing them to steal or make illegal migrations to the neighbouring countries or communities.

Except the op is limiting the hunger to just food, I'd say lack in general can cause insecurity because when you are not comfortable with what you have, you tend to envy the next person and to some who do not have self control, tend to involve in crazy things to fill that void.
If you ask me, I think for some, hunger and insecurity walk hand in hand because there has to an absence of something before you experience that emotion.

Hunger as it implies is a strong emotional state of wanting to eat and this is accompanied with somany things and if this feeling is not attended to or quenched it might lead to individual doing everything thats possible within his or her reach in other to get satisfied at that moment an this in turn may lead to insecurity. Hunger can make a good person to become bad in pursuit to eat because at this moment he or she is not stable until the needful is done, in the case of a jobless person with little or no hope of eating whenever he or she is hungry anything can be an option and who knows what the option will be at that moment. Hunger portrays a high level of insecurity in the society where by causing the person involved to indulge in criminal activities to either get food or money to buy it and as so doing causing instability and fear among dwellers in such environment. So to me hunger encourages insecurity if not handled well.
One can endure bad governance, unemployment and inflation but when it comes to hunger one can engage in diverse criminal act just to survive. Out of the numerous factors that can push people into criminal acts hunger has the highest reasons. Everyone wants to survive in a society where hunger persist and it is either done by a trick or by crook or by a legal way.
Hunger is lack of what to eat or starving because there is no food at the given particular time or appropriate time needed, The issue of hunger and insecurity are mostly common in African countries they experience war, political conflicts, inter tribal conflicts, ethno religious conflicts e.t.c.
High right of corruption has taken the day, every sectors are into the corrupted system but only few are free in the practice. The security agencies are also corrupted and do not carry out their duties deligently. We can see different high rates of crime like, robbery, kiddnaping, arm bandit, raiot, political crises, cyber crime e.t.c . Some children and families are homeless due to these insecurity, many children, wife, husband, and relatives have been killed as victims of these insecurity.

Hunger is something that changes your emotions and this can also change the person in your imagine living alone without a job or maybe you have younger sibling that are relying on you and it is a your duty to care for them what would be your reaction?
I think the ones who are not patient enough will involve in crime because of the way they feel inside. Not only hunger but alot of things to be considered which has risen insecurity in our society today people no longer move freely because they are afraid they will be abducted by kidnappers and this has reduced the level of social life in our nation today

You can only be hungry if you live in the city. Once you move into the countryside, you are surrounded by healthy food, and it is all free.
The causes of insecurity are numerous, ranging from hunger, unemployment, racism, ethnicism, class difference etc. And even developed countries still battle with bouts of it. Drug abuse too can be linked to it as notorious criminals rely on drugs to numb their sense in their arts.
There is no doubt about the interconnectedness of hunger and crime and most of the crime is committed to meet the demand of uncontrollable hunger that leaves the individual with no choice but to engage in petty thieves and criminals, but then again any crime that could hurt the feelings of another person should not be ascribed to hundreds.
:Take kidnapping and other hostage-taking crimes, most of those criminals always confess that it was hunger that led them into the crime, but in reality that is not true because I matter what the level of hunger it shouldn't be an excuse to go into crime there is no connection between the two.
:there is no doubt that hunger has a high level of physical and emotional effect and when one is hungry he will not act right or in his right senses, that is why many people believe that a hungry man is an agree man and at that, we should try as much as possible to protect ourselves against severe hunger because there is nothing a hungry person can do since the first motivation of a man is his basic needs.

but when it comes to hunger one can engage in diverse criminal act just to survive. Out of the numerous factors that can push people into criminal acts hunger has the highest reasons.
I agree with your fact, OPs; really, a hungry man is an angry man. Generally, humans can endure a lot of unfair situations, but hunger can cause a person to commit an act they never meant to. My friend told me what he witnessed in his house on a Sunday day last year. When he returned from church that Sunday, he noticed someone had broken into his house. He checked around his house, but everything was in place and nothing was stolen. It was only after he entered his kitchen that he realized his soup, stew, rice and beverages were gone. In fact, his refrigerator had been emptied. Due to hunger, humans can agree to do things like become hired killers or become suicide bombers.
In most countries, the government takes advantage of these kinds of situations to get people to do their dirty jobs.

I think it depends on what type of criminal activity, most likely poverty will lead to stealing, robbery, environmental destruction, or something related to the means of making money or for survival.However, for murder and genocide which are more serious than just theft. These are driven mostly because of ideological beliefs and/or racism.
I believe there was a time when a plane crashed in the middle of the snowy continent and some of the passengers are dead but some has survive the impact, in order for the survivor to prolong their lives until the rescuer comes, they ate those people that are dead instead of killing the other survivors.
Is this an idiomatic expression or it is an event that actually happenwd. I mean how long would a plane crashthat the survivors could not survive the hunger even if it is for two to three days before the rescue will come. I do not see myself eating my fellow human being whether smoked, cooked or raw. In order to survive, I would rather have to starve to death than eat my fellow human. I don't know if there is some part of the world were eating human being is legal or morally acceptable atleast.I also think that your reply was off the context, because Op is indirectly depicting a poor government or unemployment countries and not surviving in terms of emergency.
Food is a basic need in human life. if there is no food, people will starve and die. thus, if a person has no food, they tend to do anything to survive. hunger is torturous. everyone would want a long life. so definitely food is the main thing in life. and maybe hunger can make a person angry and restless if not controlled.
For me, hungry people are not just limited to starving due to lack of food. However, it also lacks basic necessities that a person needs for their own survival and that of their family, such as clean water, shelter, medicine, and climate-appropriate clothing.
For some reasons and usually, When a person is hungry they may commit criminal acts just to survive because hunger is a basic need that everyone wants to fulfill in a society where hunger exists.
However, criminals are still criminals. And these actions in any country are still against the law and certainly arrested.
Perhaps the consequences of hunger can lead to hopelessness and people can fall under peer pressure, environmental and social pressure even more when they cannot afford their basic amenities.

Poor governance, unemployment, and inflation are all factors that contribute to the emergence of hunger. They all lead to hunger, which in turn leads to insecurity in the country. A country that lacks control over the factors that cause hunger will eventually produce criminals, and criminal activity will persist in the country. One of the most viable ways to stop all of this is to address the former before they escalate; escalation is extremely dangerous, and this is an example of what we see in countries where there are too many criminal cases.
There is this saying a hungry man is an angry man.
You're right about what you just said, if a child is hungry, he may be tempted to steal, if we want to tackle insecurities in the society today, then we have to begin with the consideration of the less privilege first, the poor and the needy, we need to create an avenue for several opportunities for the people to participate in one enterprise or the other, the government and individuals make take it a determination in helping others in need, these people got frustrated and were left with no option than to partake in illegal measn for a living sustainability, but that shouldn't be an excuse although, we all take full responsibility for how we lived our life.
I mostly agree with the idea hunger can push people to do criminal things, I would also add Health.
Both Health and Hunger and the basic things we need to take care of in order to continue existing in this world, and since not doing so certainly translate to death; people are more afraid of death than jail or justice.
I can tell, because here in my country, we have seen economical periods when people were struggling so hard that many of them had to move onto a grey market of re-selling fuel or gold-mining.
If hunger and health were not problems in the world, I also believe people could focus in electing actual politicians instead demagogues who take advantage of other's desperation.

When one is hungry the can do the unthinkable just for survival. It is also proven that people tend to fall for peer pressure, environmental and societal pressure more when the cannot afford their basic amenities.

foremost what is the legal definition of hunger;is a feeling of discomfort and weakness, what causes the discomfort and weakness is lack of food, that is to say food is life and life is food, food is very vital, for example you have all the money on earth and you don't value food, that is not possible, what are the causes of food insecurity One can endure bad governance, unemployment and inflation but when it comes to hunger one can engage in diverse criminal act just to survive.

*poverty
*low income
*lack of affordable housing.What are the remedy to food insecurity, giving more people benefits through nutrition assistance programs, increasing benefits amounts and addressing unemployment.
Many people who tend to rob and involved in bad acts majorly as a result of hunger. There is an adage in my language that says if food is removed from all expenses incurred then all is well, this is because the majority of the money incurred is spent on food.
Hunger and insecurities are two major disaster that can make a settlements unsettled because there will also be an unrest and fear of what may come as an outcome each day, striving for survival comes with a huge challenge on people especially finding ends to meet, while the addition of insecurities is the worst plaque that could encourage people for migration to other places for better settlement, we also need to carter for others in our own little way of rendering assistance for them to have a good living and feels secured having us around them.
When a man is hungry different things comes to his mind, when there is hunger there comes insecurity, because when you look at it, when a man is hungry is ready to do anything just for him to be able to put food on his table, so the main reason people do evil things that make a society unstable is because of what they are passing through. And there is also the aspect of the kind of leaders we have, when the leaders are not doing well for the citizens there will be a lot of crime and insecurity in that country. Jump to:
