Eradicating Crime
Crime has been around for thousands of years- acts viewed as vile, evil and sometimes unexplainable by humans, have plagued our species since the pre-historic civilizations. The first attempt at creating a code of laws started in Ancient Mesopotamia with Hammurabi’s Code. Although humanity has come a long way from following Hammurabi’s idea of “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” we still struggle with finding fitting punishments for crimes, as opinions on the matter are widely subjective. However, over the recent years, with the development of criminology, the focus has shifted from finding a fitting punishment for a crime, to eradicate crime by starting with its root causes. Criminology is the field of Criminal Law dealing with attempting to figure out why crime happens. The practitioners and experts of this field have narrowed it down to nine main causes, though they widely debate what the main one is. The purpose of this research paper will be to go into depth about why poor parenting and broken homes are the root cause of crime- this being due to the fact that they have a negative mental impact on the child’s development, can easily lower the child’s altruism levels, and can ultimately lead into other causes viewed by researchers as root causes of crime.
