Is it possible to summarize the main causes of crime in our country?

         

     This could seems to be a simple task but actually it is a troubling one. According to my personal point of view, the aspect that should be analyzed as the main causes of the increasing rates of criminality in my country, would be drugs and poverty .

         

     Nowadays, drugs are a huge problem all over the world and many people are involved in this business. Drug dealers are wealthy individuals and they are always bribing judges, policemen, politicians and another officers to develop their criminal activities. In our country, criminal persons commit any kind of crimes to get money for their drugs . Everyday, such activities are increasing the rate of criminality and the violence on the way these things happen.

         

     I also think, another cause of crime  that should be mentioned here is Poverty as well. The lack of genuine jobs and  high prices in the whole economy leads people to appeal to robbery, to burglary, mugging and others easy ways to get money. But the most disturbing fact is that under-aged kids are used to do these kind of things.

       

    Nevertheless, the other part of the community  think that no excuses are enough to be involved in crime. The honest community that live in  poor neighbourhoods try to get even little jobs as a way to give  their children a good example how to live humbly. Unfortunately, humble persons are the target of criminals to steal them, or worse, to kill them.

       

    To conclude, nowadays in our country exists several reasons that encouraged to human race to commit crimes. We can be witnesses of horrible crimes that were commited by thieves, murderers , even normal mob or under-aged kids as well because of their personal issues. But in my opinion, drugs and poverty are the main ones topping my list.
