There are all different kinds of crime today, some include, theft, abuse, torture, hate crime, organized crime, money laundering, kidnaping, homicide, stalking, sex crimes, arson, drug related, drunk driving, and finally, political and white collar crime. Every thing I just mentioned is a broad category of crime and each one has many more specific crimes within it. When you look at all of this you have to think why there is so much crime. I mean, are some people just evil?
Some crime people can at least make a little sense to, like for instance someone robbing a bank, but not harming anybody. We can all see some logic in this type of action as "money" can cause a lot of mayhem, and it 's especially bad for people who don’t have any. Many people can recognize being poor and yearning for a better life. However, most of us do not act out in criminal ways in order to get ourselves out of financial hardship. In contrast, think about the guy who just last week went into that school and killed 20 children and 5 adults for really no reason at all. Nobody can grasp any reason at all why someone would or even could do something so gruesome and evil. It just doesn’t make sense.
So why is it that crime seems so bad today than in the past. Well, I would have to say heavy population increases don 't help. All of the technological advancements only make it easier for us to see all the bad news. I think that some people knowing that the media is going to shout out their names all over the newspapers and televisions is an incentive to criminals who want to be, I guess you could say "known" for something.
Crime has always existed, since the beginning of time. It 's almost like it 's human nature. Nevertheless, is America falling into a trap where crime is normal? As our prison systems grow, are we allowing crime to grow to fill the gaps, or is it the other way around? My personal opinion is that we in fact are.
Did you know that when America 's crime
