Answer:
There are many theories that relate to inequality and crime. Crime is one of the biggest outcomes of inequality and the same happens in South Africa.
People commit crimes as a source of earning. The social and economic condition of South Africa is known to all, there is a huge unequal access to basic services, and in order to fulfil this gap, people commit crimes like robberies and carjackings.
In South Africa, many people don't even have a house to live in, not all children are able to afford education and no light or road facilities to villages. To fulfil all such basic services, people of South Africa loot the shops of liquor and TV’s and sell them in exchange of something necessary, burn schools to show their anger and others.
Though not any crime can be justified because of unequal access but the country should take some actions to minimize the rate of crimes.
Hence, various criminal activities in South Africa are the result of unequal access to basic services.
