It is argued by some that
crime
is becoming more prevalent due to exposure to
violence
displayed on TV and over computer games. It is true that
such
display of
violence
could have negative psychological impacts,
however
, I tend to think that poverty has contributed more to the increased number of crimes.
On the one hand, most computer games and movies on TV contain violent scenes,
therefore
undeniably causing some intense psychological problems.
In other words
, violent content may cause more aggressive cognition and anti-social
behaviormanner of acting or controlling yourself
, especially when its viewer is not an adult. Because watching
violence
in games and on TV makes children believe that carrying out acts of aggression is not only easy but
also
acceptable to society.
Moreover
, teenagers and adolescents are often on target in terms of video games, in which they act as an active participant rather than a mere viewer. By getting exposed to explicit videos and games, the young people are highly likely to try implementing some of these acts in real life,
such
as physically hurting their peers to
threatingthreatening or foreshadowing evil or tragic developments
with guns, or even injuring someone. Even though exposure to violent images can lead them to commit an illegal
,
this
factor cannot be linked to the increased
crime
rate.
The foremost reason why people are committing more and more
crime
is that, in many countries, life under straitened circumstances has been remaining a major problem for several decades.
Firstly
, unemployment is
of most crimes since it exacerbates poverty. Two broad research programs have been conducted on
crime
last
year, both reaching the conclusion that over 70% of criminals had offended in order to earn money for their living.
Secondly
, in many parts of the world, children do not have an access even to elementary school. Given that it is far-fetched to expect an uneducated person to become proficient

, one will probably struggle to find a well-paid job unless they get
. Apart from those, not all countries can provide adequate job opportunities for their citizens, even for those who have attained a level of
education.
Finally
, lacking money to fulfil basic necessities
such
as food, cloth or a decent housing, the poor are bound to steal or commit other serious crimes for their livelihood.
In conclusion,
although
violence
and in computer games has certain contribution to turning individuals into criminals,
this
is my view that criminality is rising due to poor living conditions.
