Background research
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.

chooses to offend, that is their responsibility and if caught, they should suffer the consequences.

DATA ANALYSIS
Crime is a fact, a matter of law and it is not an opinion. As society changes, some actions which used to
be criminal are no longer so. Likewise some actions which were legal can become prohibited. An
example of this is the introduction of by-laws which allow local authorities to prohibit drinking in
designated public places. Laws are made by the politicians we elect democratically - we may not agree
with the law but there are democratic opportunities to change it. In a democratic society someone
charged with a crime has the opportunity to defend him/herself. He or she will be deemed innocent
until proven guilty by a criminal court. Punishments traditionally reflect the seriousness of the crime, the
most serious are those which involve violence and/or loss of life. The causes of crime are complex.
