Question

Do you think crime rates are increasing due to gas prices and all prices going up?

Answer 1

No. Crime is due to greed and is more prone to the uneducated.

It has been there since the beginning of human history, there's always going to be people that want the easy way out.

Being uneducated leaves man believing himself to be weak and never able to 'make it big'. He feels he has nothing to lose, and so goes into crime. Crime has nothing to do with prices going up, as many poor, hardworking people are able to survive.

Crime is caused by greed, laziness and lack of education.

Answer 2

Yes, that has a profound effect. It is also caused by other things such as frustration with the way people feel these days. Violent crime is down most places, but petty crime is soaring, I think it means we are fed up!

Answer 3

Thats nonsense, the reason why crime is out thereis, simply because the government has made it that way. Its a flaw by them who will not own up to it, it the gap between rich and poor getting bigger and now the effects of this are showing. The government use global,war,terrorist, words to make us think different. You see there are only a handfull of people running each country and they make or break us. Thats why there are civil wars, because the poeple have had enough of the rubbish. Poverty breeds crime, if it was petrol why arnt the rich in on the crime and there children. Ive hung out with the rich and Ive never heard them talk about the price of anything. Emile Durkheim speaks of this, anomy, the iron cage. When the state fails its people but puts the blame on them rather than themselves.
