Introduction
Crime:
A crime is a deliberate act that causes physical or
psychological harm, damage to or loss of property,
and is against the law.
There are lots of different types of crime and
nearly everyone will experience a crime at some
point in their lives. Crime affects people from all
backgrounds, locations and ages.
Criminals:
A criminal is someone who breaks the law. If
you're a murderer, thief, or tax cheat, you're
a criminal.
When you think of criminals, your first thought
might be of someone awful like a murderer. But
this word is a lot broader — Anyone who breaks
the law is technically a criminal, even if the crime
is just not paying a speeding ticket. You can also
talk about criminal activities: things that are
illegal. Lots of TV shows are about police officers
and lawyers trying to catch criminals who are
engaged in all kinds of exciting criminal activity.
Circumstances that lead to
crime
Crime affects people from all backgrounds ,
locations and ages.
The causes of crime are as follows:
 Poverty:
Poverty is one of the main reasons for
crime.Since people do not have the means to secure
a living in the right ways, they invest their time in
criminal activities.
 Mental Pressure:
Mental pressure plays a significant role
in the lives of all teenagers and young adults. The
lack of wisdom and experience these people have
just added fuel to the fire. As a result, many
individuals in their youth subconsciously get into
criminal activities.
 Drugs:
The main problem arises when they get
addicted to the drugs and believe they
require it to sustain themselves. In such a
situation, drug addicts are ready to go to
any extent to procure these illegal
substances.
 Unemployment:
Naturally, this leaves the youth
frustrated as despite spending a lot of time
and money on their education they still
find it tough to get a good job. This leads
to a feeling of resentment towards the
system in the minds of many youngsters
who then rebel and resort to crimes early
on in their lives.
Corrective Measures
Various corrective measures we have in India are open
prisons,concept of parole,probation, etc...
1.Open prisons:
An open prison is any jail in which
the prisoners are trusted to complete sentences with
minimal supervision and perimeter security and are often
not locked up in their prison cells. Prisoners may be
permitted to take up employment while serving their
sentence.
2.Parole:
Parole (also known as provisional
release or supervised release) is a form of early release of
a prison inmate where the prisoner agrees to abide by
certain behavioral conditions, including checking-in with
their consent parole officers, or else they may be
rearrested and returned to prison.
3.Probation:
Probation in criminal law is a period of
supervision over an offender,ordered by the court often
in lieu of incarceration.
Impact of criminal behaviours
on society
Crime harm refers to the negative impacts of crime
on individuals and society. While crime is often
seen as a harm in its own right, the negative
impacts related to any one incident will differ by
the type of crime experienced as well as the
perspective of the victim. These harms include a
wide range of outcomes for both individuals, such
as financial loss and physical harm, and for
communities and wider society, such as fear of
crime and increased use of health and victim
services.
Harms that have wide-ranging impacts that affect

society as a whole, such as expenditure of public
money to fund victim services. Crime had a
detrimental impact on society in terms of its
economy, social structure, and political climate.
Economically,building jails, buying tools to fight

crime and paying those working in the criminal
justice system all cost enormous sums of money. In
this approach, crime prevention costs the
government more, which slows down social
advancement.
Attitude of society towards criminals

The attitude of people towards criminals often
varies depending on the individual, their personal
experiences, and societal factors. Some people may
approach criminals with sympathy, seeking to
understand the circumstances that led to their
criminal behavior. Others may view criminals with
disdain and believe they deserve harsh
punishment. Ultimately, the attitude towards
criminals is influenced by a complex interplay of
factors including compassion, fear, and the desire
for justice.
On the other hand, there are those who view

criminals as inherently bad or evil. This attitude
suggests that individuals who commit crimes are
fully responsible for their actions and must be held
accountable. These individuals may argue that
offering sympathy or leniency to criminals
undermines the concept of justice. They believe
that punishment should act as a deterrent and that
society should prioritize the safety and well-being
of law-abiding citizens over the needs of criminals.
Conclusion
In conclusion, attitudes towards criminals vary
widely depending on individual perspectives and
societal norms.
A balanced approach that emphasizes the need for
accountability, while concurrently offering
opportunities for personal growth and societal
reintegration, may hold the most promise in
addressing the complex issue of criminality.
