    CAUSES OF CRIME

    1. Lack of Family Control: One of the causes responsible for


    committing crimes is lack of control the head of the family over
    his children. Due to lack of family bonds, children do not obey
    their parents thereby resulting in broken families. This leads to
    considerable freedom among children for committing crime.
    2. Lack of Social Control: The control over its members in
    society has considerably weakened. That is more so in urban
    rather than in rural area. In big cities one finds absolutely no
    social control. In rural areas there is still little control and local
    self government institutions that persist. That is perhaps the
    reasons as to why rate of crimes in the cities is higher than in
    villages.
    3. Use of Intoxicating Drinks: Intoxication and alcohol increases
    crime rate. A drunkard commits serious crimes under the
    influence of drinks; on the other hand hard earned money is also
    wasted on drinks, eventually bringing down the living standard
    of family lives. There are cases of family disputes when low
    income is drained out in drinks.
    4. Religion: Religion is the most important source of purification;
    it is believed to keep people away from committing crimes. But
    unfortunately, religion is the cause for serious crime as well. For
    instance in India, in the name of religion country was
    partitioned, properties were looted and most heinous crimes
    were committed.
    5. Education: The present day educational system has certain
    flows. The system of education does not lay stress on moralities
    which are effective forces for checking crimes. Apart from that,
    it is partly vocational oriented and does not help the young
    people to be employed in time. So, many to choose alternate
    means to earn money, sometimes leading to crime.
    6. Defective marriage: Unhealthy marriages such as dowry, child
    marriage, polygamy, sexual assaults, molestation, and sati can
    be termed as defective marriage. There have been many cases
    where women were victims of these social practices or bad
    situations. Upon which the rate of crimes and suicide have
    increased in the society.
    7. Cinema: Today cinema is a very popular source of recreation.
    But it has indirectly encouraged crimes such as pornography,
    robbery, murder, gambling, human trafficking, sex trade etc. All
    this factors collectively result in making a person criminal and
    many imitate it in real life. Scientifically it has been proved that
    solace for every disappointment lies in taking liquors, which
    again drives the mind to execute unstable behaviour.
