: I am in a Criminal law class in Wisconsin and I just would like some one else's in put on what are the reasons for Criminal behavior and/or crime?? If you have any comments of this please email me ..
My thoughts about causes for crime and/or criminal behavior are intrinsicly based. I believe
most people are crying out for a balance of self-confidence, love, and acceptance. We live
in a world where the norm is changing rapidly. New styles, new inventions, and most family
units are not strong. The family is a person's main source of support. Without that
influence, doubts arise in our self esteem, and we are forced to search for acceptance
and love elsewhere. When we do not recieve, we get frustrated. And, some people do not
know how to handle these feelings and act out in devient ways. That's
my opinion.
