Jails or prisons often make worse criminals out of people because of the conditions that exist there.
Corrections anywhere does not involve major rehabilitation for criminals and more often than not they end up being thrown in overpopulated jails full of people who are either victims or perpetrators of crimes more serious than their own. The declassification of people in prisons is also a major cause of crime creation.
THE SOCIETY
The society, starting from the home, church and the community also contribute to the high rate of crime in the country.

In a society where wealth is worshiped without caring where and how such wealth is made inadvertently push youths into crimes.
There are families who compare their children to others and see them as failures because they have not measured up.
Some parents are even in the habit of comparing their own children to others, especially those they see as being successful.
Those who flaunt their wealth in the society also force the younger ones to want to be like them and as such, the crime rates rise by the day.
UNEMPLOYMENT
The skyrocketing unemployment in the country is another reason the youths take to crime to support themselves.

A situation where one goes through school and end up jobless for many years is a clear invitation into a world of crime.
PEER PRESSURE /INFLUENCE OF FRIENDS
Our circle of friends whether we like it or not have an impact on our way of life. We actually grow and learn from them. It is merely a human instinct to be controlled by other people in our own age bracket. Sad to say, peers can influence our actions in a negative way. One example would be to do involve in the so-called“gangs” just to fit in and to be accepted.

LITTLE OR NO EDUCATION
Majority of the convicted criminals in almost any country are recognized to either have little or no education and training at all. And in modern times, individuals who don’t have any schooling, experienced difficulties in searching for employment and just in case these people find anything, it actually doesn’t compensate enough to have a comfortable lifestyle.

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
This is another undeniable cause of crime in our society. Both alcohol and drugs impair one’s judgment and greatly reduce self-consciousness allowing a person to have the guts to commit an offense. It has been proven that most of the criminals are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

People today should be cautious to reduce the negative effects of media by being responsible to oneself and to others, particularly the youth who happens to be the targets.
OVERPOPULATION
Increase in population is the biggest cause of crime and much of the world’s worries. Although population increase is related to each and every cause mentioned here, it still needs to be looked at as a cause of crime.
