Crime in 2004 is an outrage but yet, a lot more controlled then say 10 years.
Many years ago criminals were considered sinners who whose to offend.
against the laws of God and man.
Modern criminologists regard society itself as a large part, responsible for.
the crimes against it, wether its caused by drugs,poverty,mental.
illness,education or even the media.
The law has to prove itself efficient before the crime from yesterdays youth.
gets out of hand.

Background Information .
Crime had been around for as long as humans, but as the world gets older, the.
criminal offences get more common, especially in times when values are.
changing rapidly, such as times of war, or in countries where people with.
different values and backgrounds are thrown together.
Crimes, generally speaking, are fewer in countries where there is a settled.
way of life and a traditional respect for law.
The police Statistical information reports that 30% of Crime is inflicted by.
either drug or alcohol in our society in 2001, which makes the community.
re-assess wither its a safe place to live.
There is and always has been a real need for people to feel safe in there.
homes and communities but the current politics of "law and order," in which.
parties seek electoral advantage by playing on people's fears and generating.
scapegoats, which would fail to make everyone in society safer and will not.
deliver criminal justice, and not surprisingly enough the criminal law act has.
been this way for as long as criminals have had no justice.
Advantages Disadvantages.
It's more controlled Those with drug of alcohol addictions may.
move onto other addictions eg. gambling,.
