Problem:
I agree with the perspective that Crime is complex, while there are several influencing factors like economical, sociological, environmental or psychological factors, there are various reasons why people engage in it. Some people take to crime due to frustration of not being able to achieve certain acceptable goals compared to their peers due to factors like unequal access to education, lack of resources, negligence, substance abuse or poor parental guidance.
Let us not neglect the fact that some people could also engage in crime against their own will, I mean being blackmailed into participation. I strongly agree that delinquent peer groups and association with criminal minded individuals and exposure to violent environments can influence behavioral pattern as well. Need Assignment Help?
