Crime affects people throughout society because it is everywhere. From simple purse thieves, to violent gang members, crime plagues many of the urban streets today.
Research indicates that many criminals come from impoverished environments. Upon further inspection, the data indicate that many violent criminals are the products of broken homes, and transcended into society with little or no education.
There is little room for question that crime continues to exist today. The remaining question is how to prevent an increase of it each year.
Psychologists try to examine the mentality of various convicted felons, and also attempt to rationalize why such self-destructive behavior is part of the criminal’s lifestyle.
Law enforcement officials continue to patrol and respond to requests from the citizens whom they serve. Arrests are made to curb further violence, but the cycle continues forward. Criminals continue to attack or terrorize fellow citizens in order to illegally obtain financial resources, coveted objects or halleucenogenic substances. They do so for reasons yet explained and countered by the scientific community, and subsequently are not stopped until the crime is being committed or has already been committed.
The question remains as to what society should do in order to stop crimes from happening.
