  • People do develop long term problems, such as depreesion or anxiety related illnesses, and a few people have a severe long lasting reaction after a crime known as post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).
  • There are also economic effects of crime. Losses to both victims and non victims can also come in the form of increased security expenses including stronger locks, extra lighting, parking in more expensive secure lots, security alarms for home and society and maintaining guard dogs. Considerable money is spent to avoid being victimized.
  • Crime not only affect economic productivitybut communities are also affected. Even the so - called victimless crimes of prostitution, drug abuse and gambling have major social consequences. Drug abuse effects worker productivity, uses public funds for drug treatment programs and medical attention and leads to criminal activity to support the expenses of a drug habit.
