Crime

Introduction

Crime is a core set of behaviors such as killings (murders and manslaughters), inflicting significant injuries (various kinds of assaults), forcible or abusive sexual relations (rape), stealing (theft or larceny, and if by force or threat of force, robbery), serious cheating (fraud), entering the property with bad motive (burglary). It occurs everywhere and is counted as a serious crime. Behaviors are commonly regarded as less serious crimes include shoplifting, drug use and possession, gambling, prostitution, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In this are going to discuss the relationship of crime with family, class, gender and politics (Pager, 2007). Criminal behavior often begins in early adolescence with petty theft and assault. Importantly, this crime is of a casual nature, i.e. it is rarely premeditated, and that may arise from the desire to have fun with friends. Most young people do not move from there, but some go further and commit more serious crimes. Relatively large percentage of offenders occasional highlights the small percentage of those who are repeat offenders. These often have been in bands and, through a process of socialization, have been accustomed to a criminal lifestyle (Waldfogel, 2010).

Discussion

The crime is not a spontaneous phenomenon. There are always factors that cause or trigger. The criminal exacerbation can be considered the expression of a serious and complicated social unrest impacting on the criminal law. In every country, in the world and all periods of history there have been crimes (Wildeman, 2009). Crime is a uniquely human behavior is not observed in other organisms, in which aggression is limited to that necessary to feed and protect the species and territory.

Causes of Crime

The crime is an integral part of our society, and most of the offenders behave essentially like the rest of the population. One consequence of this is that the form taken everyday existence-that is, the society we live in all of us, criminals or not will most influence the development and patterns of crime. Family, gender difference, race, politics and social class are some of the causes of crime. Criminal activities include transnational organized crime, trafficking in persons, smuggling of migrants, cyber crime, duty evasion and counterfeiting, corruption and fraud, money laundering (Williams, 2004). Police have recorded evidences and victims on homicide statistics, assaults, sexual violence, robbery, kidnapping and motor vehicle theft.

Poverty and crime

Poverty is a general characterization due to deprivation of needs. If there is a decrease in poverty, there will be a reduction in crime also. Many children grow up without the influence of the adult males who are gang members or streetwalkers, or at least promiscuous and had become a bit more criminals. There is also a strong correlation between poverty and single parents. A woman trying to raise children without a husband is probably someone better. A man and a woman have much better chance together to raise children. Correlation between poverty and crime is high; therefore they should not be put together for confusion (Tehrani, 2010).
