Answer:
A crime is a fact, a matter of law and it is not an opinion. ... The causes of crime are complex. Poverty, parental neglect, low self-esteem, alcohol and drug abuse can be connected to why people break the law. Some are at greater risk of becoming offenders because of the circumstances into which they are born.
Reasons for committing a crime include greed, anger, jealously, revenge, or pride. ... These people are making choices about their behavior; some even consider a life of crime better than a regular job—believing crime brings in greater rewards, admiration, and excitement—at least until they are caught.
