In many countries, the amount of crime is increasing. What do you think ate the main causes of crime? How can we deal with these causes?

Although

arguably, there can be many factors that potentially affect

crime

rates, the most prominent and common factor is the socioeconomic stance of any specific

country

.

For example

, if one was to compare why the

crime

rates are higher in

third

world countries than in

first

world countries, it is quite easy to spot the difference; that being the socioeconomic conditions of those committing the crimes versus those affected by it. While the term 'socioeconomic' is quite broad, concerning

crime

rates, it can quickly be narrowed down to

two

things. '

country

, is quite challenging.

Socioeconomic

is a sector

influenced by many factors,

as how well the economy is doing? Is the

? What is the education/ literacy rate? Etc. It is a universal fact that the

significant incentives for committing a

crime

that influences the inflation of

crime

rates in many countries are either lack of money or the urge for revenge. In most states, the inflated

crime

rates can either be related to gang-related crimes or crimes committed simply for the

reason

of sustainability. When looking at regions with countries of highest

crime

rates as of 2019, it can be narrowed to

two

categories:

war

-torn countries (middle east or central Africa) and poverty-driven countries (south America or eastern European). The entire

reason

why the

crime

rates of a

country

rarely stay

Suggestion

rarely stays

the same or go down is that the people who commit these crimes contributing to high

crime

rates are quite literally stuck in a systemic cycle of

crime

. Systemic meaning that due to prolonged conditions of the

country

or region, the

society

conspires against those who are in the bottom tier of the

society

's hierarchy: most commonly those most affected by

war

or those who are poor. Just like the cycle of poverty and

war

victimization is systemic, when you combine the

two

, it gives

society

the systemic period of crimes. According to recent world statistics on the demographic and cultural and economic backgrounds of criminals belonging to countries with the highest

crime

rates, a few of the factors were extremely common: visible minority, poor, a victim of

war

crimes, or oppressed by

society

or with family issues. The problem with those who are trying to eradicate

crime

rates is the fact that they are approaching the issue wrong. The authorities tend to focus on the crimes rather than 'criminals.' It is crucial as a

society

to understand that no one in their

sane happy

Accept comma addition

sane, happy

and contented mind would even think to commit murder or rob a family or stab someone. Every action has a story, a passion, a

reason

why it was done in the

first

place

. Right now, we focus more on specific types of crimes

such

as fraud, robbery, assault or murder.

However

, it would be helpful to cluster 'criminals' according to the reasons why they commit crimes in the

first

place

. If a problem

such

as increasing

crime

rates needs to be solved, as a

society

, its essential to eradicate the problem from its roots: that being why the crimes are driven to happen in the

first

place

, government and authorities should identify the demographics of individuals that commit these crimes in their

country

, cluster them according to their socioeconomic conditions, identify a broader sample of individuals that could potentially fall in the same category as those who commit the crimes and

lastly

implement policies that could help improve conditions of portions of populations. Once people don't have an incentive to commit crimes, it is more likely that the

crime

rates will eventually go down.
