Lynn Son: Crime

Nowadays, we confront with news of criminal every day. It ranges from the first offence to even worse crime against humanity. No one is pleased with this, but it still constantly happens everywhere in the world. The criminal psychologists have been studying the way of crimes and how we could prevent crime. In addition, the criminal investigators have been trying very hard, but it still is an issue. How can we reduce the rate of crime? What reasons contribute to committing crime especially by younger criminals? Roots of crimes are debatable and it should be discussed in public. In my view, there are two main reasons of crime.
First of all, family history is the first cause of crime. First, family relationship is really important to childhood. This loveless childhood makes those who have no one to talk to commit crime easily. Divorce of parents develops nonchalant behaviors as well as wanting to leave their troubled homes. This is unconcern; nobody is there to fix their problems, cheer them on, or care for them. They only establish their personalities by themselves. Most of the criminals have records of criminal family as children see, children do. Second, poverty in family is an essential cause of crime. Their needy childhood makes them commit minor crimes. They want to get what others have and have a full stomach. It makes people to grow from pencil thieves into bank robbers. The minor criminals are often forced by circumstances like unstable employment, low wage and financial problems.
Society is also responsible for crime. Education from school and community is insufficient. Most of the juvenile offences who have poor judgments did not complete school. Either they were underachievers, or they were expelled from school. Society is reform programs for the criminals are ineffective; seems to be futile to train them for new lives, for the juvenile offenders are not rehabilitated. Our society hates criminal and turns them away from our surroundings. Mass media, meanwhile, is a supporter of crime. The first offenders’ crime is often imitated from the mass media. The criminal has free information on the Internet, and movies send out violence and scenes of crime without filter. Peer groups from school or neighborhood influence juveniles to unexpectedly turn into crime. These groups put pressure on youth offender to commit crime easily.
In my opinion, crime is a combination of consequences from family history and society. Though no reasons could be used as an excuse for crime, it should be considered in public. The family has to remember that an example is better than advising, and to raise the children fondly. Society has to support effectively until the criminals find their niche in the society. We should admit that it is not their own fault; moreover, we have to find fault with all of us. Do you want to start your fresh morning without criminal news?
