A person addicted to drugs is unable to support their addiction and more often than not they end up in a life of crime to fuel their habits. It is not unknown anywhere in the world that a drug addict ends up committing crimes to raise money for their habits.

Besides that there are also a large number of people that are involved in the drug trade. Though these people may not really be drug users themselves, they often lure others into drugs and crimes.



10. Victim of unfair rulings and the correction system (prison system):
Victims of unfair or incorrect rulings from court often cause people to enter a life of crime. It often happens that a person is a victim of chance and happens to fall into crimes.

Besides that, people are also often falsely accused of committing crimes which ends up in a court conviction. Jails or prisons often make worse criminals out of people because of the conditions that exist there. Corrections anywhere does not involve major rehabilitation for criminals and more often than not they end up being thrown in overpopulated jails full of people who are either victims or perpetrators of crimes more serious than their own. The declassification of people in prisons is also a major cause of crime creation.



So that’s it!

 

If you have any of these issues and think the only way is to commit crime, can you please see a therapist, doctor, DOP or PPRO (good Police men) or someone you can trust and empty your ‘heart’. I also believe ‘talking’ solves problem.
