As more and more people experience unemployment and hunger, they turn into desperate measures to survive

hence

the increase in

rate.

However

, repeat offenders become fearless after their

first

crime

, owing to the fact that they think they can evade the law now that they know how it works. Since they've already been caught, they have now developed a new way to try and trick the system.

For example

, if they were caught in a certain

neighborhood

a surrounding or nearby region

neighbourhood

, they'd probably not go back there a

second

time when they are released.

Moreover

, if they are apprehended with the help of a CCTV camera, the

next

time they commit a

crime

, they'd thoroughly check every corner and absolutely avoid shops with a surveillance camera.

as a result

of having no job and since they already have a record, companies are wary to hire them as they have a history of jail time. Desperate times
