The phenomenon of crime has long been a topic of intense debate, while some individuals extend its causes to socio-economic factors such as poverty and social problems, others argue it is derived from an underprivileged background. This essay will discuss both perspectives, and my stance about criminal laws.
Those who support the first view, namely politicians and lawmakers, often assert that external factors are the main point that lead to crime. from the primary of view, from the negative impoverishment areas provoke theft, burglary, or drug trafficking. Especially, in some states of Mexico, low-income households and social inequality prompt citizens to destitutions and fall into debt. This proves that if the government and authorities support welfare financial and subsidies for those who homelessness, unemployed, and in economic hardship, the rate of crimes also certainly diminish.
On the other hand, many psychologists and philosophers hold the view that breaking-law person stems from disadvantageous environments. In their eyes, some people are born and grew up in scarcity areas such as slums, often intent on violence and robbering. In some cases in India where the slums dominate almost all of the country, there are many serious scandals about engagement in criminal activities. Therefore, to limit the criminal laws, the supporter forces are very crucial for reducing impoverishment and destitution.
Personally, I am convinced that both external factors and a drawback environment spark off committing an offence. From my observations, income inequality and unfairness in working-class people are the main reasons. Evidently, it is needed to dwindle to the people at the bottom rungs of society.
