What triggers a person to commit a Crime?

Have you ever committed a crime. Not a little one like speeding 5 over the limit but one that you know deep down inside is wrong. The question I always ask and never seem to get an answer for is WHY? What in you made you want to commit the crime?

I like to learn what triggers and causes people to react the way they do. Is it pure pear pressure, are you the leader of the crime, do you make these choices to prove something to yourself or others?

Answer #1

They have no inward guiding moral compass in their Life.

Answer #2

There are many factors: desperation, revenge, selfishness, mental illness, jealousy, immaturity, or even pleasure.

Answer #3

it could be peer pressure, also the curiousity, to be cool or feel it, to feel some sort of adrenaline, attention, to show your tougher than the rest, your strong.. also many people do it for respect and they want to see fear in other people when it comes to them.

I personally think it can either deal with phycological, curiosity, or to prove yourself as a bigger and bad-er person.

but thats just my opinon.

Answer #4

the main thing that make a person do a crime. is that they want more. the more they crave thing. the more they do to get it. I wont lie. I thought about doing some big crime once. but I change my mind. never let the darker part of you win
