"Crime is an activity that breaks the
law and enforcement”. Crime is not the problem of one home or one person; it
is the problem of whole society. It costs not only in currency every year but also
represents an
even greater loss
in terms of
human values, happiness and their morals. In recent years
the crime graph is more appalling not only in India but all over the world.
According to the legal definition crime
“implies any act done or committed in violation of public
law, and for which the person is
liable to punishment by
indictment, presentment or impeachment”.
Crime is a universal
phenomenon. Its etiology
is extremely complex and the manifestations vary according to time, place
and the individual. It also varies with historical periods, modes of life,
economic conditions and social attitudes.
Crime has
been with mankind
since the beginning
of recorded history.
Ever since man has attempted to find the most effective
deterrents against crime, society has framed the theories of punishment and
established the prison system to control the criminal behavior but crime has
continued unabated. The idea of a crime free society is utopian. Thus, the researchers
suggest that we should place emphasis on prevention of crime.
Let us learn about the various types of crimes through this given video lecture.
