Topic: Increasing crime rate ?? What caused it? (Read 1241 times)

So many things cause crime.. Poverty is probably the main reason.

There are many factors that can cause Crime. For example: economical disorder, poverty and thing like that. Nowadays these problems are very actual.

I think it is because the legal constraints are not enough. In some countries in the war, there is no legal control, and their crime rate is astonishing, such as Africa!

I think that poverty, unemployment, drinking alcohol, and the main reason. (1 Poor, Unemployment): Anyone who accepts their own stomach for the family, takes another as a profession. The main reason for this (poor and unemployment).(2 drinks): Enhancing the addiction of alcohol / alcoholism. When there is no money for liquor / liquor, do not choose someone else for money. For this, the government needs to take appropriate precautions / stimulus ....

I think these two replies sums it up. Most people would not do something that would be punished. Nor do they want to be hated by others. But sometimes people found themselves in dire situations. And if the modern society is increasing the scale of these dire situations (i.e. more and more people found themselves in bad economic situations as a result of society or how a country is run) then it is likely we will see more crime.

The economy is a factor underlying the most crime rates in the world, every person has needs that can not be avoid, they have their own way to meet the needs and justifies all means. It also influences the environment and also the effects of illegal drugs is becoming an important factor that makes the crime rate increases.

Crime is just proof that humanity is flawed. And we have to accept that. It could be psychological or sociological, but it’s already part of reality. Maybe instead of focusing on its cause (which we can’t seem to control), what if we focus on treatment or a solution? What if we provide deviant people with a safe platform where they could unleash aggression or practice their uncontrollable tendencies. What do you think about virtual reality as a solution? Providing this escape for them might contribute to general safety and peace. What do you think?

1. access to consumption capacities.

-> currencies create an asymetric distribution of power and wealth, and access to consumption capacities with rich capitalists that create and market money, and poor money earning cattle that is forced to sell their time in order to earn access to consumption capacities. a wast property owning portion of the society then also supports the capitalists as they deliver them a stable environment and the workers. societies therefore are doomed to be unequal and will never be able to sustain currencylessness for long.

2. obtaining power and influence

3. achieving ideological goals.


its as old as human history.

the creation of bitcoin can also be considered a form of smog wasting the information environment of people, to abuse them as money earning cattle.

whole world will have now to live under neverending bitcoin propaganda by bots operated by its core interest groups is this a crime?

by far most economic damage worldwide are white color crimes by businessmen.

It is undeniable, crime has become a part of social and social life. Crime is not carried out by itself, but because there is an intention and opportunity to do it. Criminality is also born from an economic crush and often it happens. With conditions that are arguably trapped, eventually people will have their own ways to fulfill their needs by justifying all means.

Generally, crime rate is on the increase. This is as a result of increase in unemployment rate. Eventually, many people graduate from school and returned home to stay for many years without having any job to do. Increase in crime rate is also caused by low income. When a family is increasing in number to an extent where their income can no longer sustain them is worrisome. Poor upbringing of children in such family is very common and the street is the next place they will think of when their parents are not capable of providing their immediate needs. Politics also cause increase in crime rate. Politicians after they have used people to achieve they political ambition don't go back to help the people in most cases.   

I agree that poverty is the root of evil, but the poverty and crime problem might not be solved by government assistance/support to the poor people.
If you want to know what I mean, check out the failure of government-sponsored housing in the documentary that was an eye-opener to me, "The Pruitt-Igoe Myth." If you have watched it, then you know it.

But if someone was elevated by UBI above the poverty line and spend all their monty on drugs, they would be right back in poverty.

Depending on how the UBI injected cash into various parts of the population, drug street prices would adjust to that extra cash.

I think that the causes of increasing crime rate is the lack of teeth of the laws and authorities to stop or reduce the crime rare in their country. Another one is the unfair justice system which can be an advantage to other criminals and therefore, inspiring it to make more crimes because they believe that they would be in prison or the sentence to them will be shorten.

My focus on the crime rate most crime case beginning with drugs, political, and education.most drug users no having a job they need to find the money then they involve to crime. most Asian country politicians make crime because of there vote. some people have no good education they need to find the money then they also involve to crime.

I believe that the crime rate is related for two reasons: 1) Lack of upbringing in the childhood of a person, if the parents are good they will try to give him love in childhood, and if the evil and kick him as a child, he will be gloomy and angry for the whole world 2) Inefficient economic situation in the country - people do not have enough money for their existence, they are sometimes forced to commit crime for survival.

Crime would reduce dramatically if everyone was above the poverty line.  The majority of crime is from lack of money and desperation.  There has been a lot of support for a Universal Basic Income recently so that may help to solve this problem.

Crime is so rampant nowadays and what I believe why is it happening which is in this case, based on our country, is because first of poverty. That is the main reason, they do commit crime to have money or things for them because of poverty they experienced. Another problem that leads in crime is corruption in government because due to this, employment wouldn't be focused leaving filipinos unemployed that might lead to poverty. The main point is that this issue comes really from another issue. The domino effect can be seen to it and that's why we should not let our country add another problem to be cause of another problem.

crime and greed are interwooven, there wont be crime if there was no greed. people dont really know how to place their scale of preferences in order of importance, they tends to place priority to the wants where in real sense emphasis should be placed on needs while pursuing wants, people tends to pursue things that they cant afford with their income. when they cannot meet up those wants with their limited scarce resources, they result to crime as an ulternative.

Yes i see youir point and i agree with you ,but im looking it from prospective of my countrey ,if their wasnt a people that stand and protect our country we would be still under communist regime called Jugoslavia...in war on balkan many people die too, but we look them as heros because they fight and got our freedom and our independent

Can't or won't they? I think you're trying to justify crimes. This is wrong. Most often, criminals want to have easy money and this is the main reason for their illegal actions. It seems to me that the reason of a large number of crimes in liberalization of the legislation. I am confident that any repeat offence should automatically result in life imprisonment. Moreover, the offender needs in prison to earn itself its contents or to die from hunger.

It seems to be that the enemy is no obvious in Syria. There are Russians and Americans there. The fact is that thousands of innocent people are dying. It's easy to judge others sitting at home on your couch. If you're in a war zone, you might have slightly different feelings. I would try to protect my country, if I really felt like there was a clear threat and that I could be helpful. I can also imagine though that I could decide that the best decision would be to leave with my family. A lot of people are dying for nothing. That won't help anybody.

Ok its your opinion ,mine is that you are coward if you left your country and let enemy take control ...If you think its brave thing to run away ,what are then home guard soldiers that fight for their countrey and what you think would happen if everyone is brave to run what will happen with that country?

So you think that all young men should volunteer to fight in a war? What if they don't believe in the war at all? If they can't even understand which side to fight for?

You're statistic is wrong. Here you can see demographics of refugees in the EU: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Asylum_statistics. You can see that the percentage of men is between 60-75% in the 18-64 age range. You need to remember that men are at higher risk of being forced to fight or being killed in a war situation. Seeking asylum can also be dangerous, depending on how you flee your country. Many men flee their countries alone first to find asylum, work, and stability, to then bring their family with them after. I think that is a brave thing to do.

You're right. Poverty is sometimes the root of evil and it causes crime most of the time...

On my own speculation here in my country, the main caused of crime is POVERT, Because in here poverty is a main problem wherever you look thats why people need to some work even its bad, like kidnapping and selling drugs etc. it is our main that we cannot resolve

I think they are not helping them at all because if you really want to help those people you need to start working on problems back on Middle East then,what are they doing to stop a war nothing they even make it worst and we are witnessing even more refugees.
I guareente you that almost all of them would like to go back home in their countreys ,they want their lifes back ,they want peace back home not is some strangers land

The fact is though that there is a war right now in Syria, for example. You propose that the people should stay there and be killed? Or taken into sexual slavery? It's a very difficult subject, but people are dying in wars. It's hard to just tell them that they should stay where they are, that we'll send them some help. It wouldn't actually be helpful at all, if they're dead. Sometimes we really do need to take people in. They need to be protected from the dangers they faced at home. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like things in Syria will be resolved completely any time soon.

In my country we have had war against Jugoslavia that was aggressor to my country we didint have any wepons, they have everything still brave people fight for freedom and we got our state ,what are you talking about imagine that in every war good site that is fighting for freedom just run away then you let aggressor to get what they want ... i see 90% of refugees are young mens ready to defend their countrey ,but no they run away and what let their womens and children to defend country its not honoral ,you need sometimes sacrifice your self for greater good

Yes this is exactly what I was going to say, there is more and more poverty which correlates highly with the crime rate, the more disenfranchised people the more likely there is to be crime. When people have their basic needs met and live in a happy environment there is less of a chance for crime to occur. Of course there are rarity's but for the most part those two statistics go hand in hand IMHO

There are many factors behind their crimes, perhaps the greatest influence is a matter of economics. many people are not able to buy food for every day, those who have no money doing crime like stealing robbed even killed others to satisfy their needs.

I think Poverty is part, also illetracy can cause increase In crime atrocities. But mostly economical factor.

I think that it is easy to reveal the reason for that. Population grows gradually as long as net around the world grows as well, we just getting more info.

Well what I think is, and it might be kinda wild thinking but, social media, drugs, movies, everything is increasing it, people see all the fancy lifes of these peoples and go down the road trying to get the same things, or even worse they become depressed and think they are not worth anything so they start doing drugs (talking about the hard ones) and end up doing crimes.

I guess, it is the media that is responsible for this feeling of ours that crime rate is increasing. I believe, it's just the opposite. It is beneficial for the media to keep people scared and tense at all times. The reality is different.

There many factors cause crime, one country may have same cause as other countries. Commonly, it causes of society problems, economic issues, drugs or event can be caused of religions. Such as a terrorism, actually that is not religion because religion doesn't each that, in fact they have fall and wrong understanding about religion therefore they do beyond of our mind. One should be highlight is they are not involving in any religions.

The sad thing is that the honest refugees themselves aren't usually the problem. Refugees are people running away from some danger in their country. They need to be helped. The problem is that sometimes terrorists come under the guise of refugees. I think it must be very difficult to be sure that the people immigrating to your country are real refugees. Do you think all European countries should just stop helping refugees? Who can help them?

I guess that is one benefit Canada has. They have very little illegal immigration. People would have to come by the oceans or from the US. I guess they could come from the North too. If they pull that off you should probably let them stay. Haha. I've heard that they also get a bunch of refugees that go to Canada from the US. If they get denied in the US, they run to Canada and Canada gives them a chance too. So, you think the problem in Europe is that there are weak spots in the border of the Schengen Zone?
[/quote]

Yes their are many weak spots in border of Schengen zone.Problem is they go through Turkey,Greece, Macedonia,Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia so from my point of view those countrys dont want refugees in their country and same goes from refugees they dont want to stay in this coutrys because its lower standard and low social benefits so its in both interests to get those refugees as fast as they can out of their countrys so lot of illegals come in... i think that everyone shoud make stronger border controls starting from Greece and Turkey just stop the problem at the start dont let any illigal immigration and we wont have problem with terrorism because we most be honest their is a lot of radical exstreme islmaists that need to be stop

Almost every country has the same problem about increasing crime in their country as well as in my country today.
Based on what has happened in my country the increase in crime is based on high unemployment, poverty rates and acts of corruption that occur in the government of my country.
Crime has increased quite rapidly in my country at this time, maybe the perpetrators of these crimes have felt hopeless and lost their minds to meet the needs of their families so that they choose the wrong way to commit a crime.

Absolutely! Go guys check the history of Middle Ages, for example, or even mid-1950ies with KKK and the like raging around, and you might see it all differently.

I don't think it is the crime rate that changes; it's our attitude. There are certain things people used to believe were okay, but then people changed their minds.
In addition, the number of social media and people on them are constantly increasing, which increases the publicity thus making us feel the crime rate increases, but it doesn't. In fact, I believe that in reality the crime rate decreases.
As simple as that.

Why do you say the crime rate is increasing?  It is actually been decreasing over the years.

No gun legalization is a cause of crime increasement.
There are so many financial crime nowadays.

Crime can be defined in many different ways. Different societies may also choose to define crimes differently. However, in general, crime can simply be defined as the breach of laws that are laid down by the ruling authority of the land.

Reason for the crime ,

1. Overpopulation is the biggest cause of crime
2. Poverty
3. Politics
4. Racism
5. Regionalism
6. Family conditions
7. Depression and other social and mental disorders

Above reasons effect to increes the crime rate.

i think the main reason is puberty. they have no money no work no foods to eat. thats why thry commit crime in order to live which is not good but they out of their minds because of thinking about mone, how to gain money. the number of crimes become bigger and bigger while sa puberty become worst and worst.

Other than the societal factors like economical factors and others, I think technology itself like the internet plays a big role in the increase in crime rate. Media itself is also responsible for a huge increase. In previous days, if a person committed a small crime, he was not shamed and then he could start a new life. These days if someone commits a crime for other mitigating factors, the media exposes his life making him more isolated and less accepting to society thus making him more prone to crime. This huge imbalance is ignited more by our power-hungry politicians

I would love to hear more about this idea. I have never heard the cryptocurrencies may cause a crime explosion. What do you mean by that? Who are these "money earning cattle" you talk about? Are they rich from crypto? Or are they some kind of slaves?
I'd be very interested if you could find the name of that documentary. I find this kind of thing fascinating!

cryptocurrencies will likely cause a global crime explosion in regions that were crime free beforehand.

crime in the end is also very perspectual,

as societies are build asymetirc, not based on equality and justice.

perfect equality cannot be reached even.

cryptoeconomics is likely to create a class of so called "money earning cattle" and these people will not be very just treated compared with the capitalist class that constantly creates and propagates new money

Those are certainly quite startling statistics. It would be more interesting if you actually had specific statistics for each crime by race though. It's interesting that this doesn't seem to happen in every country. In 1988, Canada signed the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. It basically is a guarantee of equality and equal rights for all cultures. Canada has so many immigrants. Canada actually welcomes over 300,000 new immigrants every year. That's about 1% of the population added every year. As far as I know, crimes are not going up like this in Canada. What do you think the difference is?
[/quote]

I think the whole thing is diffrent and Canada obviously has more restrictions for immigrants and lets be honest its not even so easy to come from middle east to Canada,problem is Europe we see a lot of illegal immigrants without ID coming and thats the main problem ,because they came through lower standard countrys they let them in without IDs give them some papers like registration and they go further in.
I know there is probably a familys and people with IDs that dont hide anything they run from war and just wana better life,work and education but there needs to be a lot more controls and regulations if not you just let a lot of potentially bad and very dangerous people for your society and in future you will have to face the consequences

Crimes are still increasing due to poverty, drugs and corruption.It will never solve unless those main reasons will never stop.People commit crime because of too much poverty and wanted to survived daily lives.While poverty will never vanish when theres still corruption in government.So on in to drug problem.

In 1975, the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogeneous Sweden into a multicultural country. Forty years later the dramatic consequences of this experiment emerge: violent crime has increased by 300%.If one looks at the number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse. In 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police; in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%.
Sweden is now number two on the global list of rape countries. According to a survey from 2010, Sweden, with 53.2 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants, is surpassed only by tiny Lesotho in Southern Africa, with 91.6 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants.My friend live in Swedish and i know what im saying chance that Swedish guy will rape a Swedish woman is really small or try to rob someone even smaller ,but those nobrainers from middle east every second one will commit a rape or try to rob someone those people cant live with us because we are going to have civil war againts muslims in europe if something wont change mark my words

Nowadays people getting more wild, isn't. At past, a crime was in the category of committing acts of physical violence, but nowadays many people commit violence psychologically, so that people become more insane and need public attention by committing crime.

I think one of the major causes this crimes is using drugs by the criminals, some other criminals are hard to earn money so they are doing a bad thing just to make money for their living. It is really hard to earn especially if you don't finish your study because of the difficulty of financial but it is not a good reason to do bad things or do crimes. It is really sad that there are still a lot of criminals that are addicted in drugs.

I wonder if the crime rates are really going up so much in France, Germany and Sweden. Maybe crimes are actually not going up. It could be that they are just getting more attention if they are committed by a an immigrant. If a German guy rapes a German women, it will not be as interesting in the new as if a Syrian or Moroccan migrant rapes a German woman. It's also possible that the worldwide crime rates aren't really increasing. If some of the immigrants coming to Europe are "terrorists,robbers,rapists,killers", then they probably were already committing crimes in their home countries. So, the world crime rate could say the same and just move from one country to another.

I think this increasing crime rate of committing murders, abuse and drugs are caused by only one thing, separation from God. People nowadays forgot to take part of their time talking to God, embracing His love that resulted from them to think on the other side, and do wrong things. Life is not only about survival. Poverty exists, corruption exists, abuses exist, and a lot more bad habits. Let us try to look and reflect on the the deeper part. Let us value life.

To the view of how things is now, i think the origination of crime is the problem of no work to do and job security, and if there is no work to earn money there is no way man will survive, and people will try to make money by all means. So this can cause crime aswell.

In Europe the crime is incresing by the number off uncivilized immigrants from middle east look at France ,look at Swedish ,look at Germany this countrys was civilazed and culture was on high level ,but when those i dont  know how to call them came to this countrys they became shitholes for imigrants who wana live on social assistance ,not to mention that i look at those people at their camps they are ecological disaster ...i think its cheaper to put full loaded army on boarder with real guns and ammunition then let those uncivilazed wild people to your country it can only cost you more because they increse the crime rate you need more officers you need more security more jails and the hole point is if you let them to your county your country became a shithole and thats the truth...God bless thet they didnt came to my county because we have special mentality if this what is happening in Swedish for exsample is happening here in my country it woudnt be good belive me,because their is still strong nationalism charge here so i guess those immigrants will start to vanishing in middle of the nights if they try to rape our womans or rob our people...im not saying all of them are criminals but a lot of them are because lot of them is not runing away from war ,they are runing away because they were terorists,robbers,rapists,killers and god knows what else they do

Does this mean that you actually believe crime rates are rising? As I posted above, I think that the world is actually becoming safe than it used to be. You can see that in the US that is definitely the case. I'm sure there are countries that are experiences increases in crime, but that's not all of them fore sure. Is crime actually on the rise where you are from? Maybe people are doing great jobs at explaining why crimes are committed. I don't really people address the first question in the title of this thread, "Increasing crime rate?" Is it actually increasing?

Crime raises from poverty and bad moral state. Poverty and bad moral state comes from bad system. Socialism is a bad system.

I wouldn't call it being selfish when someone is forced to commit crime just to survive. I would be calling the billionaires of this world the selfish ones.

The causes of increasing crime rate in every country is a mixture of the influences of both internal and external environment. People will not simply commit a crime just for nothing. Some would think that doing a criminal act will provide them a solution for their problem. Others think that as long as their intentions are good, it cam never be wrong. While few were triggered by the people around them or just because of their unrighteous beliefs and twisted minds. I think that the commitment of crime has it own different unique stories that needs to be heard. The increase in crime rate also a result of the misunderstanding. Lastly, because of the vulnerability of humans that makes us weak and capable of doing crazy, filthy, and a poor decision.

Stupid people who are selfish and thinking only about themselves who do what ever they want to get the things they want and their own comfort they don't care other's feeling that what cause a crime rate but in a low percentage.. .

A Lack of Character Causes Crime Being poor has never been the catalyst for someone to act criminally. I have watched a young boy who had almost nothing go hungry to ensure others had something to eat. When I asked him about this, he said that he would rather do what was right than commit a crime. I have watched people with shelter, food, and amenities steal because they believed they did not have enough things. It is not the poverty that leads to criminal behavior, it is the choices an individual makes that lead to criminal behavior.

Well to my own opinion or understanding, the cause of crime in our society are 1. lack of jobs, 2. some parents did not give their children the education which  is the right of every child. 3. Due to some people are willing to work. 4. some people just decide to make it through do or die ways.

If wealth were spread more equally the crime rates would be much lower.  You know things are bad when 6 people own more than the entire bottom half of the world's population.

Well first we need to ask if this is really true. Are crime rates actually increasing? You mention crime in the world, so I assume your referring to crime in the who world. There was a book published by Steven Pinker in 2011 called The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. There doesn't seem to be that much data available on a worldwide scale, but we can see that in the United States, many crimes are actually on the decline.

http://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/30142228/FT_17.02.15_crime_640px.png
I found this study here: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/01/30/5-facts-about-crime-in-the-u-s/. You can see that in the US violent crimes and property crimes have decreased significantly since 1993. Do you still think there's more crime in the world? If there isn't, but it seems like there is, why is that?

The reason why the crime are increasing because of poverty...  We all know that because of it the people didn't have a choice...  In order to gave their family a better life they tend to engage with this type of crime...  But in other part it also because people became selfish they didn't think that they could hurt somebody the things that they only understand is their own point of views in life thats why crime happen...

less jobs, if it's busy working I do not think there's a chance to commit a crime.
crime occurs not only because of the intention of its perpetrators but also because there is a chance.
and his lack of understanding of religion also triggers a crime rate if people are afraid of sin he will not commit a crime.

Another main reason is broken families or single parenthood. Their children will not get any attention neither from the family nor from the society; feels alone and makes them engage in crimes.

Population explosion also made difficulties to find jobs for each individual. Jobless person may find hard to make both ends meet and develop frustration among themselves.

First and foremost reason is unemployment and poverty. Everyone of us should have a job to reach our goals and fulfill our life

law is made to control the human behavior, where law enforcement authorities  and social values are strong there will be low rate of crime .

All poor people doesn't need to be criminals. You are generalizing and insulting them at the same time. Let me give you an example. Moldova is a country in Eastern Europe and it is generally considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. On the other hand, Gabon is an African nation which is awash in oil-wealth. But still, the crime rate in Moldova is much lower than that in Gabon.

Using Illegal drugs is the number one cause why crime rates increases, when someone is addicted to illegal drugs and unable to support their addiction financially,they mostly ended up in a world of crime to fuel their habits. Other reason is the growth of unemployment. The cost of living rises up and people are commiting crimes to fulfill their needs and desires. Unemployment cause by insufficient education acquired therefore having temporary jobs that expires for a few months. The higher education level and the qualifications required for a specific jobs that makes it difficult for undergraduates to meet and pass its qualifications. Thus resulting to unemployment.. In most depressed areas, Poverty is one major factor that increases crime rates, The common crimes commmited were all related to stealing. All were Robbery,theft and swindling.
Because people were driven to great lengths of desperation to fulfill their needs. Sometimes driven by hunger these people would do anything to meet their desires even resorting to violence and crimes.

Economics is the main responsible for increasing crime rates obviously. If someone cannot make his end's meet, He or she start seeking illegal ways to earn sufficient money for their family's needs. If Income levels of society increase, Crime levels will start decreasing as a result of this economic well-being . The more money people have , the less crime they commit.

Crime is not only because of the perpetrators, but also because there is an opportunity for them to do. So we should always be aware of every situation every place

These criminals have different backgrounds and reasons why they do such things. Some would be because of lack of money, anger, dissatisfaction in life, or just because they don't have anything to do in their lives. Lack of fear, discipline and proper authority could also be factors that's why crimes are still increasing which are definitely not good. It will never be completely safe with these criminals lurking around us.

Crime rate will increase due to poverty because most of the people in the poorest sector have no job. So they were into more in illegal activities like selling illegal drugs, robbery, snatching and kidnapped for ransom. People with criminal minds wants to earn money the fastest way there into illegal activities.

We can decrease crime if we have effective police intervention and cooperation of the community. police intervention example police visibility, police mobile patrol in areas where crimes are repeatedly happened. And information dissemination to the community on how they can cooperate with law enforcers to crack down criminal activities.  

Poverty is the main reason why theft and robbery is rising in our country. Apprehended criminals when interviewed, they undergo such crimes in order for them to feed their family. And majority of the suspects came from the squatters are of cities and municipalities.

I would say that the people themselves have brought this fate on to themselves. If they were not so tolerant about it, then these instances would never happen. They only woke up, when something happens to them or their loved ones. When the others are undergoing torture, they are mostly blind to their suffering.

There are many things that crime rates are encrease because of poverty and increasing population of the country;therefor people do crimes for some reason which is drug pusher for their easy way to earn money or drug user that can trigger their mind to commit different crime.

High crime rates are caused by drug addiction because users do crimes for money & there halucination. Unemployment & low salary rates in which some families eat once a day.

Well some of us says poverty any people any person can do anything to survive in the world as long they can eat and the can live. but what is the real reason what they doing it. Its because of the rich people or politician who manipulates society that always think about they're own agendas theyre own wallet they didnt even think to the people that will be starve on they doing. thats why that people who feels this unfair life they push to kill and do some crime to make money or food to feed for theyre family.

Well in my country it is increase of taxes on 21% on every product. Well not only that payments and sallaries stayed at same level so people are looking for cheap solutions which leads to crime as smoking cigarettes without marks which is crime in my country.

Blame Single Mothers...

Alot of the reason why crime rates increase. But mostly, it could be boiled down into these basic reasons. First, poverty rates. The lower the poverty rate is in a given area or country, then the lower the crime rates would be. Desperation from hunger is a good reason to do crime. Next, enforcement of the law. The stricter the enforcement of the law is, the lower the crime rate. I mean if you're not going to jail and no one will rat you out then you will do the crime. Lastly, it is the general ethic of a given community. If the people in the community are jerks, them yeah crime rate would increase

When people don't get something they try to get it by force which is a crime. Day by day people are becoming more and more hungry for money which is letting them do different types of crime.Sometimes when people have no way to live without crime(crime like stilling foods) they are bound to do crimes.

Thank you very much for your opinion ..
If such conditions, who should be responsible ??
If the law is no longer a rule, chances are bad things can happen ..

People who suffered hunger , and also addicted on drugs their are the people who do crimes nowadays in my country .I think government should help the in their life people who suffered hunger are people who don't have a job , a job that sustained their daily needs so government should do steps on them

Simple physics.   Increasing population in a world with steadily decreasing resources.    Combined with the fact that of those decreasing resources, the ownership of those resources are skewed towards a small percentage of people (rightfully so in my opinion).

If there is an increase in the crime rate, then there can be mainly two reasons for that. The first one can be an ineffective police force. Here in India, the cops seems to be more criminal minded than the murderers and rapists, and so the victims are scared to go to the police stations for help. Another reason can be lax punishments. I have read that less than 5% of the rape cases ends up in conviction. Such factors encourages the criminals to carry on with their act.

The main source of committing crime is POVERTY and GREEDINESS why? This two factors gives people urge to make bad things, in order for them to survive and be at the top, to be more powerful that no one can imagine.

I don't know where you got your info but crime rates are lowest in most of the countries.

I think it all happens because of poverty .People do crimes just for them to have money for their family .Criminals do have their own reason why they do all of that crimes and one of the reason that I am sure is that poverty.

If the corruption , poverty and drug problem continues the crime rate rise as well.

In my opinion, ,
there are many things that cause the criminal rate to increase, one of which may be an economic factor, one is required more in the income, but the reality to fulfill his needs is not enough, so there are many demands on him, and finally he can do everything to meet the demands of his life, including committing a crime ..

Crime is a social phenomenon that can not be separated from society itself. As a result, crime will be a problem facing every country ..

So what is the background so that crime continues to occur in the world ??
