Crime like the rest of human behaviors can be subject to studies,
justifications and predictions. The increase of crimes and level of violence in
certain areas and within certain age groups, shared ethnical and cultural
backgrounds is subject of much research. There are different reasons for the
increase of the crimes and violence in the current world. Some of these reasons
are related to the economical and socio-cultural contexts and some related to
the legislation and crime combating policies and tools.
The increasing demands in urban life are important factor
which should be considered in the analysis of crime. The gap between the
increase of needs and income flow has negative results in individuals’ moods
and behaviors. These factors can be addressed through comprehensive income
increase and public services provision policies.
Unemployment is another important factor in the increase of
crime. Growing numbers of young people are unemployed and consequently they
lack sufficient income and social satisfaction. This may lead to an increase in
violence as it has been illustrated in different views. This problem can be
solved via different interventions which include education and training
policies. Adopting statistical, result-based policies in dealing with unemployment,
supporting income generating creative initiatives and adopting a multidisciplinary
approach for creating jobs and expanding the labor opportunities are highly
important steps to solve the unemployment problem. Several young people who had
violent tendencies have changed their behaviors after gaining stable work
opportunities and creating their own personal family life. There is also need
to consolidate the linkages between educational-training policies with the growing
needs of the labor markets in order to increase the opportunities of youth
employment.
Education is another important issue for all aspects of life
and poor education can lead to an increase in crime. There is continuous need
for developing education to meet the requirement of the labor market and
economical and social life. The promotion of tolerance, problem-solving and
critical thinking are essential factors to make tolerant communities and this starts
from the education system. TV programs, media and movies are also public
educational tools that affect the behavior of people. Some media services
providers which only want profits focus on violent actions. These programs
should be directed through the legislation to provide less violence and more
dialogue promoting products. The spread of a tolerance culture amongst people
in communities and religious entities is very important.
The aforementioned polices focus on crime prevention aspects.
These policies should be adopted in parallel with maintaining the efficient
means in dealing with crime after it occurs. There should be strong punishment
and reform policies in place. Investigation and prosecution tools should be
strong and efficient in order to enable the criminal justice system to detect
and punish all crime offenders.
