Some people think that poverty is the reason for most of crimes. do you agree or disagree?

In today's era,
poverty
has become a main concern for most countries. Some
people
think that
poverty
is the cause of most
crimes
.
while
others disagree with
this
statement. As far as I am concerned, I totally agree with
this
statement. In
this
essay, I will explain why I agree with
this
and will provide examples to support my position.
Firstly
, Unemployment will lead to
poverty
and
then
it will come to
crimes
.
This
is because, when a country has a problem their young generation does not have jobs and work to do. That age group of
people
have more energy and ability to earn
money
than other age groups. When they do not earn
money
due to
the unemployment problem in their country
then
they choose the wrong path to get
money
.
For example
, a recent survey conducted in Dehli jail showed that most youngsters are kept in prison and all of them accepted that they did
crime
because they did not have any other option to earn
money
and were unemployed after their graduation.
Additionally
, most
crimes
are committed by
people
who do not have proper education.
This
means, that
people
who stand below the
poverty
line always remain abandoned from a proper education. Lack of education in
people
is
also
a main cause of the increasing number of
crimes
. To instantiate, a report by 'The Times of India' showed that 98% of
people
who committed
crimes
of rape were illiterate and
this
happened because they did not go to school and learnt moral values and how to respect others.
On the other hand
, some argue that there are other reasons for increasing the number of
crimes
because some well-settled
people
are
also
in prison for their
crimes
. In reality, those
people
committed
crimes
due to
their mindset ,not any social condition forced them to do it. In conclusion,
while
it is true that there is not a single reason for increasing the
crime
rate,
poverty
is playing the main role in today's
crime
rate.
Therefore
, I totally agree that a lower number of below-
poverty
people
in any country will have a lower
crime
rate.
