The Causes of Crime in the Society -By Salisu Muhammad Marafa

Peer pressure also pushes many young people into crime because they want to feel accepted or look important among their friends.
Drug and alcohol abuse is another cause of crime in society. People who take drugs often lose control of their actions and may become violent or careless. This leads to fighting, robbery, and other criminal acts.

Crime Rate and gunmen

Crime is one of the major problems affecting many societies today. It refers to bad or illegal actions that disturb peace and safety. There are many reasons why crime happens in society, and most of them are linked to how people live.

One main cause of crime is unemployment. When people do not have jobs, it becomes difficult for them to meet their daily needs. Some people may turn to stealing, fraud, or other crimes just to survive. Poverty also plays a big role. When people lack basic things like food and shelter, they may be forced to do wrong things. An other cause of crime is bad upbringing.

Children who grow up without proper care, discipline, or guidance may easily join bad groups. Peer pressure also pushes many young people into crime because they want to feel accepted or look important among their friends.
Drug and alcohol abuse is another cause of crime in society. People who take drugs often lose control of their actions and may become violent or careless. This leads to fighting, robbery, and other criminal acts.

In conclusion, crime is caused by many factors such as unemployment, poverty, bad upbringing, and drug abuse. To reduce crime, the government should create jobs and parents should guide their children properly. When people are supported and guided well, crime in society will reduce.
