What Makes People Commit Crime?


Recommended Posts

Is it neccessity? The situation at the time the crime is committed? Are some people just born bad? Maybe theres a gene or chromosome that people have that makes them behave badly.

 

I have never committed a crime, not because Im a good boy, but because I never had to nads to shoplift when I was a kid or nick a car when I was a teen or fiddle the dole when I was an unemployed adult. Ive never been hard up enough to consider stealing from someone... at least Ive never been tempted to steal from someone, I had some lean times in the 80s and early 90s.

Ive been tempted to commit murder more than once but didnt do it.

 

What about you though? If you were starving would you nick something to eat? What do you think of people who see crime as a way of life? I heared someone say once "Im a thief and proud of it, I do my job which is nicking, and the police do their job which is trying to stop me, the defence lawyers are my version of a union."

 

 

Answer me, or I`ll eat yer skin!

People commit crime for different reasons and the word crime obviously covers a multitude of things.

 

There are some who commit crime just for badness such as beatings up or vandals, others may do it as a necessity in their mind to fund a drug habit. Some will commit violent crime because they can't control their emotions or they are control freaks. There are some very sophisticated criminals who may do complex frauds because they are greedy and don't expect to get caught and some people commit crime for fun such as rich people who go shoplifting. I think criminals get complacent after a while, they find commiting crime easier and they take less care and then get caught.

If crime stopped the lawyers would have to turn to crime as the only way of making so much money from such little work. But they couldn't because it would have been abolished. I suppose they would all have to get into conveyancing and divorce.
