Crime and Poverty in the UK

Currently, there are many social problems that lead to a disordered situation in the UK. Those social problems have a negative effect that could cause damages to  other people. There seems to be a relationships between those problems. The UK government  must find out the effective solutions to  repair the social problem as much as possible.This blog will consider the possible connection between crime and poverty in the UK

 

Firistly, crimes  exist in many countries and this is definitely normal. Those nasty acts may be committed for certain goals for example, to get money from other people who have worked hard to get this money. As a result, crimes threaten other people lives in the UK. Most of the offenders are teenagers, people out of  work who have no hope..Teenagers and children  could be more easily  attracted to do crime because they  may have faced difficult experiences in their life. According to Topping.A (2009) close to 80 % of crimes in the UK were commented by people who had bad behaviour like teenager and children.Consequantly, govrenment of the UK should look after the teenagers and children to to help them to avoide being a criminals. According to Association of Chief Officers (1993)"found that young offenders are invariably poor, often destitute and  barely able to muster significant resources to subsist". of Probation .Also, families are the top official about thier children behaviour because if they bring them up incorrectly that will effect their behaviour.  

 

 

 

Secondly, United kingdom trying hard to improve the livelihood for the citizen in its territory. The United kingdom has to find the positive solutions to help poor people and this solutions need perfect plan. According to Joseph Rowntree Foundation (nd) "For more than 100 years, we have investigated the root causes of poverty, monitoring its effects on people and places in the UK". Homelessness are one of the more poor people in the UK because they do not have houses and they live in street. Also, children suffer from some problems like do not find food to eat because they maybe live with poor families. According to Save the Children (2014)"This is the reality faced by 1.6 million children in the UK who are growing up in severe poverty. It shouldn’t happen here, but you can do something to help". Consequently, government of the UK must provide  charities to help children to grow up and make them optimistic of a better life. Also, if the percentage of poverty has decreased the percentage of crimes will decreased significantly.

Finally, crimes and poverty indeed threaten the social live in the UK. People who are poor maybe they steal from other people therefore, they become criminal because their situation forced them to do it. In addition, families must protect their children and teach them to respect the public and do not assault  other. Its recommendent that UK government must provide awareness centres for the criminal to help them solve their behaviour also, UK government must provide charities for poor people because they are needy and to avoid the negative consequences of poverty.
