Some people believe that a crime is a result of social problems and poverty, others think that crime is a result of bad person's nature. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

While there is a popular view that

crime

is caused by social problems and poverty, there is

also

a contrasting view that it is the result of a bad person's nature. In my opinion, both the bad nature of humans as well as social issues are the reasons for

crime

and

this

essay will

further

discuss both views.

To begin

with, Poverty forces

people

to commit a

crime

. The fact that countries with high

crime

index happen to be underdeveloped and poor would prove the same.

For Instance

, the most common

crime

happening in the current world is theft and the most common item involved in any robbery is food.

Thus

it can be proved that hunger from poverty can introduce

people

to

crime

and thereby making them criminals.

However

, there are exceptional

people

who became criminals due to their natural traits.

Furthermore

, along with their evil intent to cheat, they

also

lead a lavish lifestyle and

this

can influence others to indulge in a

crime

.

For example

, Harshad Mehta exploited the loopholes of the Indian Stock Market and robbed money from Indian banks and despite the legal action by the Indian Government, a lot of stockbrokers looked for newer and innovative options to cheat as they were inspired by the mansion that Harshad Mehta possessed.

Therefore

, even specific

people

with greed to become rich in any way possible will commit a felony over and over. In conclusion, I would like to re-iterate that the causes of

crime

are based on the natural behaviour of any bad person as well as the economic circumstances of any individual.

Moreover

, the reasons and examples listed will

also

provide strength to my point of view.
