Increasing rate of Unemployment is a major cause of increasing crime rate

What are the basic reasons which make a people criminal?

The answer lies in following points like:

Increasing rate of Unemployment is the major problem of increasing crime rate. Consider a situation when the qualified young graduate remains unemployed for longer period after he completed his education. His family has lot of expectations from him and to satisfy their expectations, he can go up to any extent and cross any limit just in desire of small payment. At this stage, he is not in a position to make a correct decision between what is just and what is unjust, but he don't want to miss any of the opportunity that life is giving him and in this feeling only he accepts those offers which can change his life and can break their social and moral ethics and they are ready to commit crimes, they are ready to kill a person, they are ready to accept any offer that can prove to be a earning money source for them. Domestic violence is another consequence of unemployment. It may even result in aggression and or murder. And this major unemployed segment of society is the main source for crime. No criminal is by birth a criminal but it is the circumstances which make him do it. But this problem is mainly associated with the developing countries. So what about developed countries? Do they not commit crimes? No they also commit crimes. Even the crime rate is higher in developed country like USA than other developed countries of the world.

High ambitions are also the one source for crime. A person who has high ambitions like if he wants to enjoy all the comforts of life or wants to achieve the high status in his life, he wanted to complete them at any cost and any unfair means to fulfill his wish. To make his wishes come true or to enjoy the luxuries of life he can come in the way of crime as this seems to be an easy mean to earn money for them and when they do crime for the first time then the 'advantages' of crime compel them to commit such acts again and again and now if they want to come back they can't be their way back to path of justice and honesty.

Technology Advancements are also one of the reasons for increasing of crime rate. This is because technology advancements have broadened the mind of people and they now can think better ways of committing crimes. Like most of the young person want to own and make use of highly sophisticated arms. And if they are not made available to them, they think for different ways and professional criminal's takes advantage of this. Technology advancements have now made the way of criminals much easier than before.
