CRIME

Some people believe that a crime is a result of social problems and poverty, others think that crime is a result of bad person's nature. Discuss and give your opinion.

Juvenile delinquent has gained in popularity and made a paradigm shift in the lifestyle of children. While nobody can deny that social issues and poverty could be contributed to crime, I am of the opinion that personality trait is one of the results in offenders.

On the one hand, there are some reasons why people believe that criminals who are shaped by anti-social behavior and low-income group. For begin with, overpopulation has been massive in the world leading to rising competition for job opportunities. As a result, is that joblessness is a leading factor in causing people to commit a crime, besides for those who is an anchor of their family or secure basic needs also could be susceptible to crime. Second, social issues such as drug abuse or alcohol consumption act as a catalyst for certain personality characteristics. For example, crime, sex or adult programs on TV could directly affect impressionable people, especially children and tend them to engage in dangerous behaviors.

On the other hand, I agree with those who convinced that natural traits result in criminals. First, parents are one of the causes of rising aggressive and impulsive behaviors. Some behavior traits stem from a lack of moral compass, which is often passed on from parents into the child at an early age. Last but not least, domestic violence or neglecting children also contribute to personal characteristics. For that reason, children might undergo sexual, physical or even emotional abuse; moreover, failure of parental control could a cause of having a tendency to adopt social issues.

In conclusion, there is a variety of reason why people adapt to commit crimes not only come from anti-social behavior but also started from fundamental parental influence.
