A crime is something which has been done against a set of rules that have been strictly observed in a society. The meaning and the implication of a crime can vary from one place to another. In fact different places tend to perceive crime in a different manner. Something which is offensive or insulting in one place may be accepted or tolerated in another.

There are mainly three types of crimes, or rather crime can be classified into three types. These are property crime, public order crime and violent crime. All three would be clear to you when examples are given, but the name themselves suggest what each type of crime is all about. The types of crimes can get interlinked as well.

The property crime involves the taking or damaging of other’s property. The burglary, theft, shoplifting and so on comes under this category. Note that robbery is not mentioned here as it is a crime that can go violent. This type of property may also involve the taking somebody else’s money or property. A property implies to anything that belongs to others.

The public order crime is something which can be thought of as a crime without any intended victim. This is because a public order crime is something which can be thought of as one which is intended to make oneself grow in the society while ignoring others’ plights. It can also be thought as an ethical suicide in some cases though most of the crimes are a sort of ethical crimes.

The word “Criminal” was only applicable to men once. Lady criminals were out of imagination. But the fact is that the number of lady criminals is not very low and it is increasing too. It is a fact that all the crime that a man does can be done by a lady also. The only exception is rape. There are 14 different types of stimulus in human beings. It is present in animals also. But in humans, it is covered with a beautiful cover of culture and beliefs. But it comes out when something stimulates it. There are criminal minded ladies in all sectors of society. It is also observed as a joint venture of both man and woman.

Although ladies have a powerful mind, they are not as physically strong as men. This is the limiting factor. In criminal groups were ladies are involved, they will be the planning part while men will be the executing part. The criminal tendency in ladies may be formed in their childhood itself. It will only be expressed in a favorable situation. Some may have criminal tendency by birth. Men are dominated by brain while women are dominated by heart. They commit crime and will be caught easily in most of the cases. The most important enemy of a lady is the thought that she is living in a male dominated society.

Urban Areas And Crime

Crime in the urban areas is always on the increase and authorities are baffled in fighting this menace. Whenever there is an onslaught on crime in a particular area, automatically you have it sprouting its ugly head in some other area. While all of us know that crime is an unlawful act and deserves punishment, reactive measures alone will not stop crime rates from going up in urban areas. We as a society need to sit back and think to find out ways and means to prevent crime from assuming serious proportions. Crimes can be broadly classified under four segments, viz. economic, sociological, psychological and biological crimes. Each one has its own relevance and why people become criminals in any one of the above categories is worth being found out.

Economic crimes are basically born out of economic depravation of an individual. There are thousands of families where children have been deprived of the basic economic necessities which makes them feel frustrated and builds a sense of negativity. When they grow up they would like to have whatever they have been deprived of in their childhood and hence they start look at unlawful means to possess what they have been deprived of. Psychological crimes are again born mostly out of disturbed childhood where the child may have been subjected to a lot of mental trauma and shock.

This over a period of time converts the child to become hard and dark inside without any feeling of compassion or remorse. These are dangerous people and really could be a big problem for society. Sociological crimes are committed because of the prevalence of two societies in an urban setup. When he sees his neighbor grow up in life with all the good things, and if he is unable to do it, he becomes cynical looks at other dubious means to achieve material success.

Crime And Media

Media and crime have always had a very intriguing and interesting relationship over centuries. In today’s world of tension, greed, jealousy and selfishness, it is impossible to tune in to radio or television without any news on crime. Reporting crime has become a fashion with many news channels because it serves their business purposes that much better and also increases the viewer ship of such channels. While reporting crime is a part of the natural and expected duty of any good channel, what should be avoided is exaggeration and a tendency to make economic gain out of an incident which could be tragedy to some person or a group of persons.

There are many news channels and newspapers who have specially trained persons working exclusively for reporting crime related incidents and they are called as crime reporters. Switching on the TV today will obviously see you coming across big breaking news items related to crime somewhere around the world. Crime could be of any type and could cut across geographical and time boundaries. Additionally, there are many TV channels which have special programs and soap operas entirely devoted to crime. While this may be very good in terms of increasing the TRP ratings of these channels, it is not very sure as to how much benefit will it do to society as a whole. In fact many such serials make people believe that committing and getting away with a crime is very easy and many a times it turns their belief into actions.

There have many reported instances of criminal activities which have been influenced based on some soap opera related to crime. As a responsible news reporting and entertainment channel, the job does not end just by reporting news. The reporting of such news must be factual and the desire to over sensationalize news reporting should be avoided at all costs. But it seldom happens that way and unfortunately news and entertainment channels are out there to make money out of such reporting. Crime and media always go together in this world, where there is crime media follows.

Crime And Children

Children are representatives of the next generation.  They represent the society. The character and personality of a person form in his childhood. Family, society, friends and social back ground influences his character formation. Children are considered to be innocent, playful and adorable. They represent the transparency of life. But all these concepts seem to change gradually. Studies reveal that there is an increase in the criminal tendency in children. What can be the possible reasons for this? Definitely it is related to the changes in the social atmosphere. Let’s start from family. Family should be like a fertilized soil.

It should be the right place for the growth of children. Usually children learn from parents. You can observe small babies and children trying to imitate their father and mother. So parents should make sure that they are a good model for their child. The increase in the number of broken family itself is not a good trend. It is found that criminal tendency is higher among the children of divorced parents. House hold violence is also a reason for the increasing criminal tendency in children. The general social atmosphere has also changed. Children who had experienced sexual harassment or other such tortures may develop depression and other psychological problems which can develop some criminal tendency in them later.

The media also plays a crucial role in this. Films project the heroism of the hero by portraying him as a good fighter. Children always have a tendency to imitate heroes. Video games also play a role in this. The heroes of the games often handle guns and other explosives. This develops an addiction towards arms and its power. Television channels also telecast such cartoons. Children may also happen to watch the programs having sexual overflow and internet are factors which can influence children. To avoid all these, first of all create a peaceful atmosphere in family. Avoid quarrels in front of your children. Keep an eye in the activities of your child and be a friend to him and also to his friends.
