Some risk factors associated with criminals are poverty, violence, drugs, unstable family life, firearms, gangs and so much more. Usually one starts to act like his friends in the same gang where either because they are being bullied or because they want to act cool. .
One of the biggest problem is faced with is juvenile crime. In recently years we have been hearing a lot of fights even during early hours. Alcohol is a prime reason why juveniles go to certain places since they could buy it from wherever they want, even under 16 years old unfortunately now a days. However, the risk of a fight between gangs is more frequent. Alcohol leads to drugs and drugs leads to stealing. Drugs are not that cheap to buy so in order to have money to buy one has to steal. When one is in the drug market, it is much more vulnerable to street robbers. Stealing is a very common crime especially stolen vehicles. .
Another factor which effect crime is no doubt the heavy exposure to televised violence which causes aggressive behavior. Television affects youngsters of all age and of both genders even of different levels of intelligence. Similar cause is the computer games which recently are even being bought as a present. The increase of different violence games are being produced by different companies every single day and kids are spending so much time playing and so therefore without even knowing their attitude becomes aggressive.
Within the last decade or so many cases of crime involved weapon violation. It seems like for no reason many people are carrying guns for defense and also use them. For example, not long time ago, an argument between neighbors where a weapon was used lost two lifes. Nowadays, every one is being stressed out, out of nothing, for example, even having a bad day at work makes one miserable and makes him want to fight with whoever is in front of him. Driving is incredible especially after five in the afternoon where everyone wants to go home as soon as possible.
