Firstly

, I think the poverty is the one of the main reasons behind that, as we are running out of resources and with the increase in population, people are loosing their jobs,
consequently

they choose

path to earn their living.
For example
Linking Words
: I was reading a survey that nowadays most of the criminals are very intelligent, means they have suitable knowledge because they have done some studies and have proper qualifications, which implies that they are educated and because of the lack of the opportunities they are moving towards fraudulent activities. Another reason could be the greed to earn quick money because now money is considered the symbol of success.
On the other hand

need to ensure that our resources are matching the current market demands. We need to come up with more jobs for the common individuals.
For instance

, as "Henry Ford" did, when he started assembling cars, he increased a lot of jobs by assigning different part to different person, earlier one person use to assemble whole car. We need to make people aware about the consequences of the criminal activities, just many times people get lured by seeing some fancy act of crime that they don't even think of what can happen to them
as a result

of that action. So to conclude, I would like to restate that since with the increasing inflation, it's difficult to survive so more people are going for the easy way and

which increase the overall cases of violent activities. But we can control
this
Linking Words
by creating more demands and
also

by making everyone aware of the potential punishment so that more and more people believe in the hard work and trust that, the government and companies, they are working for them by giving them opportunities to earn their living.
