What Causes Criminals?
We know that there is crime going on in the world, but what makes a person become a criminal? In this post, we will be discussing what makes somebody commit a crime.
Past Crimes
Before we talk about the ideas, we need to see examples of past crimes. People do this because we need evidence to prove and backup our thoughts. We will start in 1893, where an angry police man murdered his girlfriend out of anger. We predict they quarrelled with each other to end up like this, but because nobody knows for sure, it is hard to prove. Now let’s skip ahead to 1969, where East End Gang Lords murder George Cornell. Because George was a villain anyway, I predict they did this out of defence. So now we have an idea that people commit crimes out of normal emotions, what do you think?

Possible Ideas
Now we know why most people commit of anger and protection, we can start think of ideas. People might go through a bad time as a child or adult, and become a criminal out of protection. My second reason is for teenagers or adults. Breakup or being rejected. I think this because when you go through this you might feel angry and upset. I cant think of more reasonable ideas, but feel free to discuss ideas. I hope this gives you ideas and answers. Thank you for reading!

you make some really good points in your post but what sort of bad things could of happened to a child or adult to give them a bad time.I am really interested to know and i am sure other people are too.
Thank you for your question. I will not go into to much detail because these people might have expirenced it. They might get bullied by parents or school. Public stagefright might be possible or embarrassment. I hope this gives you more reasons.

Criminals are made and sometimes it is not their fault. People can have traumatic times in their life that have scared them. There may have been family issues, abusive parents or even just not having enough to eat. Then when they have families of their own they get obsessed with trying to make a better life with their kids, buying presents and spending money they get themselves in unwanted situations and panic which might involve knife crime, abuse etc. I’m not saying that what criminals do is acceptable because the things some do are atrocious but some have reason.

Criminals are formed by drinking and people trying to fit in so please don’t become one of them it’s so awful. People die because of criminals and it’s not right so don’t become a criminal don’t join gangs with people who carry knifes !
Can you spot an assumption you've made in your comment? Are ALL criminals formed by the reasons you have given?

in my opinion, criminals are caused by being mean to other people; then they get to do it back by joining a gang.
