Crime Problems

People have two choices with this issue as well-to earn a living according to the law, or to earn money through stealing on other criminal activities.

Crime rate is high in a community with fewer opportunities for legitimate sources of income. Notice that a country's crime rate escalates or descalates accordingly with the state of the economy.

The poorer the country, the higher the crime rate. Many individuals to earn a living are those who are denied access to legal job opportunities due to economic and educational reasons. On the other hand, people who are not necessarily poor are tempted to go into criminal activities (such as selling illegal drugs or engaging in illegal gambling) because of the large profits.
