Essay on poverty leads to rise in crime in 150 - 200 wordse

Answer 1

Poverty shares an intimate connection with crime. Although it is true that all aur are not poor and the poor are not all criminals, it is the likelihood of people living in poverty to commit crimes that brings up the correlation.

The causes and effects of poverty are the determining factors that make poverty often resort to crime. The fact that most white collared crime goes uninvestigated and unprotected is probably one reason why more crime is associated with poverty.

The truth is that all of us share equal probability of doing evil. What is it that keeps us from doing evil? Is it our inherent goodness? Is it the lack of reason? Does it have to do with our situation? Perhaps, if we were not enjoying the best of life, and we were desperately needful, we would be driven to committing crime.

If we were hitting rock bottom, with no roof over our heads, no food to eat how would we react? Throw into that equation a bunch of hungry children and loved ones, what would our reaction be then? It is true that there would be a percentage of us who would still manage to stand tall despite the odds, but it’s even truer most of us would succumb to the situation.
