Question

Are criminals rational decision makers, or are most of them motivated by uncontrollable psychological and emotional drives, or social forces such as poverty and despair?

Please answer the questions according to how they are asked

Answer 1

People are naturally good but when they face a confronting situation, their aggression gets aggravated and most of them commit crimes due to momentary loss of control. Most people commit crime out of emotional control that they do not think of the consequences, when they decide to commit that crime. The best part is that most of them who committed crimes out of emotional outburst have regretted their decisions later. They also changed their lives forever and lived peacefully after being punished for the crime.

Another reason for people committing crime is that they experience discrimination and oppression from the majority group. They are deprived of their rights and livelihood and in turn they commit crime to stay alive. Social inequality, economic inequality, racism etc. force certain people to make some decisions that ensures their continued survival. They are also basically good people who react to injustice thus committing crimes.
