Do you think school is one of the most dangerous places to be for young children in todays society?

Yes and No because school can be a dangerous place for kids because your always surrounded by people and you never know if there dangerous or not. also it isn't rare for there to be a lockdown or what's going to happen and some kids don't party or go out so if going to school is the only thing there doing then id say it can be more dangerous then being at home. But at the same time school can also be safe because there is teachers and counsellors and principals around to support you or look out for you.

Why do people commit auto theft?

Even though we will never know why people commit Auto Theft crime there is a theory that can explain all crime, we can certainly find a perspective that can explain specific forms of crime. Some do it for a joy ride and the rush, others do it to cut them up and sell parts, while others try to "resell" them for some quick cash. However, it can and often times is more serious than these. They may steal it to get away from the authorities, they may take it to turn it into a rigged vehicle for transporting drugs or other illegal things, they could also use it for terrorist activities. They may take one car drive a while then ditch it and take another one in the hopes that they will be harder to catch. Some gangs do it as an initiation. The main fact is that it is a felony no matter what the reason is and carries with it some serious trouble and lasting consequences beyond just fines and jail time, it can cost you future jobs, car loans, trustworthiness among friends and family and co-workers too.

Drug crime trends in BC

Exposure to Violence: It is easy for people to adopt violent methods themselves when they are constantly exposed to violence in any environment, including at home or school.

Why do people commit crime?

Crime is caused by the individual free will. Human beings are rational, and make decisions freely and with understanding of consequences. Crime is an immoral form of behaviour. There is little doubt that some commit a crime such as shoplifting out of desperation, especially when food is concerned. Yet the same crime also attracts the attention of organised gangs who steal to order and cost stores hundreds of millions each year. The same crime but carried for different motives; one for survival, the other to make as much money as possible for as little work as possible. If caught, should each be treated the same as they committed the same crime. people commit crimes for some of these reasons: economic; power; greed; anger; jealousy; passion; boredom, fear, peer pressure, opportunity; vandalism; failure of self-direction; Lack of moral judgement and character; Because they do not see the benefits of adhering to conventional social values; A pervading emphasis on being successful; The opinion that everyone commits some type of crime; The more that people perceive a particular criminal behavior as occurring, the less likely they will view it as a crime. and lastly lack of adequate punishment for crime

What are short and long term effects on victims of crime?

A lot of people feel angry, upset or afraid after experiencing crime, but people will react in different ways. Sometimes people feel quite normal for a while and then things may suddenly start to fall apart. Others might have physical symptoms, such as lack of sleep or feeling ill. Everyone is different, the main thing is to understand that any changes in how you feel could be a result of the traumatic experience you’ve been through.Some people are surprised at just how emotional they feel after a crime. These strong emotions can make you feel even more unsettled and confused.The effects of crime can also last for a long time, and it doesn’t depend on how ‘serious’ the crime was. Some people cope really well with the most horrific crimes while others can be very distressed by a minor incident.
