In today’s world, crime is a serious issue in many countries. Some believe that it primarily stems from an economically disadvantaged background, whereas others argue that the nature of a person causes it. While I acknowledge that human genes might have a potential effect on committing the crime, I believe that being from a poor household is the major reason for crime.
On the one hand, a person’s nature can be the source of many criminal offences. Some types of individuals are prone to harming other individuals due to their angry nature. For example, in toxic families, the husband can murder his wife by constantly hitting which is caused by the man’s furious nature. Moreover, it might be because of genetics. For example, in a thriller drama called “Mouse”, the main character inherits his dad’s criminal genes, which results in him murdering a lot of people and not remembering it. However, these violent crimes cannot be justified by the person’s nature. A person needs to control violent actions, even if it is difficult to do so.
On the other hand, family backgrounds may have an impact on the actions of offenders. The young individuals, who live in poor conditions or do not have parents who sustain them can commit minor offences, such as robbery and shoplifting, to survive in this world. Even in cases where they have parents who work, their total salaries might not be enough to pay taxes or afford themselves new clothes. These limited sources compel them to desperation for money, which leads to their poor choices of committing white-collar crimes.
In conclusion, crime is a pervasive issue on the globe. There is an ongoing debate about whether a bad background or the nature of a person is the prime reason for the problem. Although I acknowledge that human genes might have a potential impact on the crime, I firmly believe that coming from a bad household is the main reason for crime.
