What is the major caused of crime in our society? Why do you think so?

It's poverty. Like it or not people need money to live. When they don't have enough money, they start to think how they can survive. When they feel desperate, they're doing criminals..

Any violence has a negative effect on the human race.  Whether it is fictional or non-fictional it will negatively affect someone, somewhere.   It only takes one person who cannot process what they are seeing or hearing to have a negative affect on the rest of us.  Statistics have already proven this.  violent crime is at an all-time high and so is the sex, violence, blah-blah blah in the movies, on television, on radio, magazines, music.  Its pretty much everywhere.  There are no more ads about smoking and that is at an all time low.  Go figure.

The answer is greed. Organize and strike. Hit the streets in protest's. There is no other effective means for change.\nOrganized crime is alive and well in America, Some call it State, Local and Federal Goverment.

Don't get excited by a new word.\n\nWhat caused the crime?\n Environment?\n Mental impairment?\n Motivations of revenge?\n Passion? (blinded by love or infatuations)\n Learned behavior?\n\nThe list goes on and on. The arguments can be appreciated by both sides in the interest of justice and corrections.

I believe it seriously depends on the severity of the crime and who/what was involved. Being in good standing order before the crime also helps. It sounds like you're doing something for your community- but helping a bit more couldn't hurt. Perhaps you could speak with a lawyer or a government official.

I know some people think using drugs is no crime so we\nshould ignore it.  Well, much of the time, it is people\nwho are high on drugs of various kinds (including alcohol) that do evil things to other people or cause automobile\ndeaths due to driving while drunk.  A drug is a drug that\nalters the mind, so we need to stop those who sell to\nothers and get them hooked on them. Plus people kill for\ndrugs as once hooked they think they can't do without them,\nand they also steal money so they can buy these expensive\nnarcotics.

drugs are the worst thing that can and does distroy all aspects of life. they are the cause of most crime from petty to top of the tree. you only have to have known somebody who has or is drug dependant to understand what i mean. as for culture, sadly it has become trendy to take drugs. all dealers should be hung because they are the destroyers of social collapse

Exactly, we have become a nation of people who think everything is someone else's fault, especially if it gets us some money. Obviously not everyone falls into this category but far too many do. I think it started with the court system blaming "a bad childhood" for some 18 year old killing some poor dude minding his own business. People know what's right and wrong and they need to have guts enough to admit when they screw up. Okay off the soap box.

For. Part of our problem in this country is lack of punishment. Without the threat of punishment crime goes wild. We need to make the punishment fit the crime and stop letting people off on technicalities.

Do you believe that women and men break an equal number of laws?  If so, who commits more crime outside the home?\n\nI'd bet that men commit more crimes outside the home.

Yes, because without punishment everyone would break the law, which means there would be no law.  Without law you don't have society, you only have chaos, and things go downhill pretty quickly after that.

Poverty causes crime, and if you don't abolish poverty, there will always be new criminals driven to crime

One of several reasons is because the birthrate has dropped considerably in the last 40 to 50 years and another is the fact that a lot of the potential murderers are already in prison.  It's not because we have become a more peaceful society.

There's loads of things - simply attemting to commit a crime is a crime in itself.\n\nI guess the most obvuious answer to your question would be attempted murder.

I think of your choices I would have to say moral issue.  But I believe you missed the right answer that it is a socioeconomic problem.  "Steal to eat" etc.  Don't get me wrong I am sure some people steal for other reasons, but I think most steal because they want to cloth, feed, or provide in other ways for themselves and their children.  Stealing is morally unconscionable for whatever reasons though.
