Reasons for Crime

Explain two DIFFERENT reasons for crime.

In your answer you must refer to one or more religious traditions. [4 Marks]

  • One reason for crime is poverty.

  • People who do not have enough money to buy what they need might steal it in order to survive.

  • Another reason for crime is to oppose an unjust law.

  • For example, Christians might protest against segregation by refusing to follow the laws separating different types of people.
