Crime is the most important
problem faced by every society. It can be defined as the commission of an
unlawful act or violation against a person or property with the intention to
gain satisfaction, pleasure, sense of power or authority. Crimes are committed
in all walks of life. We mostly see crimes related to financial matters and
physical properties but we also see crimes related to moral issues like drug
abuse. White collar crimes and street crimes are very common in our modern
times. These two types of crime have always been there but they have magnified
their presence due to growing technology and social media.
Crimes are intentional acts
which violate or harm the rights of another person. Crimes are divided in to
different types. Each type has a particular definition and can be identified by
its characteristics. Crime can be voluntary or involuntary, planned or
impulsive or considered in one sense to be an element of life. The term crime
is often applied both to crimes collectively and to those that are categorized
separately from other offences such as offences against the person. Crime is
also a legal term used to describe the offenses that are punishable by the
state penal system.
Crime is a form of disorder, a
violation of the law or public order that results in harm, injury or loss to
person or property. The word crime could be used to refer to this type of
behavior in general or to the specific criminal offence. Crime is a part of
living together and living in a civil community, so it has been a subject for
study by philosophers, political theorists and theologians for millennia. Crime
is one of the major social problems. It is main cause of fear, anxiety and
distress among the people. The society needs to be made crime free by adopting
various methods for getting rid of it.
WHAT
IS CRIME?:
Crime is a situation in which
individuals purposely engage in unlawful, typically violent or destructive
conduct for their own gain. Crime is any act committed for personal gain (or
lack of it) by an illegal or immoral. It can also be used to refer to a
wrongful act that is contrary to accepted rules or laws of the land. Crimes may
be directly harmful or hurtful to people (e.g. robbery) or simply annoyance to
them (e.g. loud noise). Crime has long been a basic concern of society,
especially because there are often no effective systems in place to prevent it.
Crime is a social phenomenon that occurs in every society. Crimes are illegal
acts that harm the society. They can cause psychological, physical, emotional
and monetary damage to individuals as well as to institutions. This article
will help you understand what constitutes a crime and much more.
TYPES
OF CRIME:
Crime is a broad term that can
include every thing from property crimes such as burglary and larceny to
violent or sexual offenses. It also includes other types of non-violent and
non-sexual crimes such as drug trafficking and homicide. Criminologists
distinguish between different types of crime such as property related versus
violent offenses. These distinctions can change over time and also depend on
the aspect of crime addressed: levels of effort used to commit a crime versus
levels of harm that result from committing that crime. There are different
types of crime: violent crimes, property crimes, public order crimes and
environmental crime. Crime can take many forms: robbery, theft, assault and
battery, vandalism.
WHY
CRIMES OCCUR?:
Crime is the most serious of
all social problems. It is a result of an interaction between the individual,
his environment and society. The individual himself has no direct control over
these factors that affect his behaviour. Crime is therefore an outcome of the
interaction between an individual's attitude, feeling and behaviour with those
around him. Criminal behaviors are only the symptoms of a greater problem. The
sources of crime lie within the person (psychological traits), within the
family (genealogical behavior pattern) and outside of it. Simple dynamics of
the societal structure, economic problems, natural disasters etc. have a role
in crime rates. Unfavorable conditions encourage criminal behavior inside
families by parents searching for means to solve their problems.
We all know that crime is a
wicked and evil thing. Crime is a problem in society that creates fear and
distrust among individuals, families and institutions. Crimes that fear the
public make them uncomfortable. There are many reasons for crime to occur and
criminals are not born full-fledged criminals but rather become criminals by
practicing criminal behaviours from a young age i.e. peers. With the same
opportunities (education, employment etc.) and conditions that others enjoy,
children will be influenced by those around them which can lead them to commit
crimes themselves or encourage other children to engage in criminal behaviour. Criminals
are often tempted to commit crimes for various reasons but some of the most
common include: ignorance, drugs, mental illness and poverty.
HOW
TO MAKE CRIME FREE SOCIETY?:
Crime free society is the world
where every person can feel safe, dignified and happy. How
to make a crime free society? For example, policy changes like providing
lighting for unlit roads, streetlights and night safari services in rural areas
will keep the country safe. However, changing cultural norms is also needed
because when wrong things are done under the cover of darkness, it can lead to
crimes like rape and murder! Education is needed so that people know how to
protect themselves against criminals. As a society, we need to create an
environment where everyone can thrive and feel safe. Think crime free! Get
involved at every level of your community - from the big picture to the small
details that make all the difference.
In this article, you will find
out how to make a crime free society. In order to prevent crime, we have to
understand why people commit crimes or do things in the first place. After
knowing what makes people criminals, it’s important to teach them how to treat
others respectfully. By doing this, we can keep our country safe and make sure
that law abiding citizens are safe from criminals while they live in the same
neighborhood as them. How do you think to make a crime free society? Here are
some do's and dont's in making crime free society.
1. We must understand that
crime is not an individual problem. It’s a problem of society as a whole and
takes many forms including the erosion of social trust. 2. Taking the lead
should involve all the people affected by the issue - victims, their families
and those who work within their communities to try and improve things. 3. There
is no ‘quick fix’ that will solve everything overnight and this means any
action plans have to be carefully considered, time-limited and rolled out in
‘bite sized’ chunks that encourage early involvement from government as well as
local communities.
Crime can often be prevented by
things like keeping an eye on your children and their behaviour, creating a
safe environment in schools and drug rehabilitation centres. Schools must be
proactive with their students to ensure a safe, positive environment. By
encouraging teachers to deal with students’ discipline
and emergency situation immediately, we not only protect the learning
environment but also prevent future criminal activities. The world is a scary
place, especially when those we trust turn out to have evil intentions. Parents
need to be careful of who they let around their offspring because children can
easily be influenced.
