Poverty breeds crime

Poverty or poorness is the lack of income source to buy food. In some cases it is not only the state of having income that is below the line of poverty but it is also the inability to sustain a specified level of well being.

It is in fact that most of the crimes that occur are due to poverty, except for countries where the minimum necessities of life are met. No matter how much moral the person is, if the poverty threatens his or her life then he/she is likely to indulge into such criminal acts and could try to attack as the prevailing social problems.

Sometimes due to poverty a person is sent to jail and is labeled as a criminal and after his release he is again become a habitual thief. As we know that the crimes in undeveloped countries are greater than developed countries.Similarly in Pakistan crimes are greater than the other countries like China and America etc.Which is due to poverty. Due to poverty many people indulge in drugs for satisfaction and cause a social problem.They loose their temperament.

The idea is that poor people are driven to desperation,because they are poor. They drink excessively, because they are poor. They do drugs, because they are poor. They are violence prone, because they are poor. And, they turn to crime to gain wealth, because they are poor. The effects of poverty are result in tens of thousands of people in the world dying each year from starvation and malnutrition.

It is a duty of the government to help those unfortunate ones who cannot maintain a balanced life by providing them with jobs so they could earn an income to reach that specific level of well-being and then it is the job of the society to treat them with kindness and provide them sympathy.
