SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FACTORS OF CRIME

Abstract

Personality is a product of social influences and educational upbringings. In addition to it the factors for committing crime are influenced by exogenous (internal) and endogenous (external) impacts. By making this work I will develop and expose the endogenous factors that influence the crime by social, economic and political impacts. I would like to put special emphasis on the unemployment, poverty, migration, micro and macro environment, in the family, education, society, then politics, the influence of political parties, religion and mass media. Wealth and poverty are a major factors that today has a significant impact on people to engage them in committing crimes, especially from property delinquencies, migration and unemployment. In the Republic of Macedonia, unemployment really is very present in everyday life and the work for a minimum wage. We live in a time when children somehow are left alone. Their parents live their lives, where intolerance between spouses and divorces are very common and usually that affects children to engage in crime. Today we live in a democratic society with a multi-party system, where people in the political party are involved in committing various kinds of criminal acts. The citizens have to be involved voluntarily or not in political party in order to find at least some hope for employment but usually they are tricked by political leaders and their followers which all this makes the functioning of the state very disabled for success on every field. As I mentioned in my work, I want to expose the social, economic and political factors to the fullest and explain their influence on crime and with all that as a final conclusion to give a proposal for prevention.
