by A comprehensive analysis of socioeconomic, cultural, and psychological variables is necessary to comprehend the underlying causes of street crimes. The following are some of the main causes of the rise in street crimes:
1. Economic Inequality: People who experience ongoing poverty and income inequality are more likely to be marginalized and socially excluded, which may lead them to turn to criminal activity.
2. Social Disintegration: People who experience rifts in their families, communities, and social support systems are more susceptible to criminal activity and delinquency. Youth who are disconnected could join peer groups or criminal gangs in an attempt to find identity and a sense of belonging.
3. Urbanization and Overcrowding: As a result of the demand on public resources and infrastructure caused by rapid urbanization and population increase, conditions that encourage crime and disorder are created. In order to successfully handle street crime, dense urban areas frequently lack the social services and law enforcement resources necessary.
4. Drug Epidemics: The demand for illegal
drugs and criminal activities is driven by widespread drug epidemics that are fueled by substance misuse and addiction. In impacted communities, the illegal drug trade feeds vicious cycles of violence, corruption, and social unrest.
5. Structural Injustice: Disadvantage and criminality among vulnerable groups are sustained by systemic injustices such as racial discrimination, unequal access to education, and institutionalized poverty. In order to address fundamental injustices and advance social justice, structural reforms are necessary.
