Financial instability may lead to criminality

[Starmix]

We always hear people commit a crime because of poverty. They cannot anymore suffice the hardships of life experiencing sleeping whole night without something to satisfy a bit for their hunger. Though not all crimes relate to poverty, but mostly, criminals doing this act are deprived of the rights to live as a human being so they resort to steal, rob or kidnap for ransom for survival.

They may be satisfied of their criminalistic act , but they will land in jail or be killed by the police. Being poor and hungry aren't the reasons to commit a crime just to survive. They can seek help to social services department or to a charitable institutions. They may be given resources to start new life.

Someone that is okay financially doesn't really have any reason to do criminality because he or she is not desperate for money.

Anyone that is struggling to pay bills can easily be convinced to join any criminal activities at all.

I have experienced poverty and lack. I had to be very strong mentally because I was tempted to engage in criminal activities.

Yes this can often lead to criminal activities. A lot of people do not choose to be criminals, but their financial situation made them become like that.

Although poverty and hunger can change common sense into evil deeds, not all poor people will become evil. In many cases, crimes often occur due to opportunities, such as people who park their motorbikes carelessly will be stolen, roads in deserted places will invite muggings, high officials who are already rich have a great opportunity for corruption.

When someone doesn't have hope of survival or living, they would get involved in all sorts of crimes.

Yes, financial instability can contribute to a rise in criminal activity, although it doesn't directly cause crime. Economic hardship and instability create conditions that can influence individuals' decisions

Yes, when someone is struggling with money, s(he) is tempted to commit a crime. They can steal money from others or even rob a bank. When we are in financial trouble, we should stay calm and think of ways to solve the problem including seeking help from family members or friends, applying for social assistance.

This is why it is good to start doing your business as early as you can in life Hopefully life treats you well

It is lack of discipline, laziness and greed that push people to criminality. It is unfortunate that people will get involved in criminality and use silly reasons to mask their failure in discipline. A criminal is a criminal no matter his status

I do not think financial instability results in crime, most of the time who embezzle money are the people who already have money

If someone's stomach is so hungry and there is no me foor food, most probably, that person will resort to stealing to satisfy his hunger.
