Introduction Crime refers to the human tendencies that a specific government has ruled out as unacceptable, and punishable by law. This may not entirely satisfy the definition, but to say there is a universally accepted definition of crime would be lying. The socially unacceptable tendencies we may want to refer to as evil or criminal, are morally acceptable in other societies; therefore, the legal obligations of the individuals, set by the inherent government, define what is taken as law. Breaking the law is what is deemed an offence. The perpetrators of such activities are said to have committed a crime in this sense (Rob Watts 13-18). Causes of Crime rate increase
Over the centuries, crime has been seen to increase with the rise of civilizations and modernity. It is neither affected by political occurrences nor by economic crisis. The first half of the 20th century saw crime rate increase moderately in a few areas; mostly in burglaries and muggings, but less in murders and drunkenness. The stipulation of tighter laws and a change in leisure habits caused a reduction in the latter. New social tendencies have seen marriage break ups and changes in lifestyles of the western world affect many families, and the children involved in them (Rob Watts 131). It is becoming widely accepted that most children that rise from single parenthood are much more likely to end up in juvenile cases, and later become dependent on welfare or crime in later years, than children brought up in intact families
In fact, the rate of crime increase in a society is directly related to the number of cases where a father leaves his family. A
