4. Abstract……
“Poverty is the parent of crime,” wrote Aristotle. It is a natural habit of human that he
wants to get all things which he does not possess and to realize this dream some of them
chose a wrong way and will resort to crime to achieve these things.
The proof of this undeniable fact is that poor areas of cities have more crime and vice
than do affluent areas.
Poverty does to some increase the probability of crime but ignoring the devastating
results of vice on society is nothing but 'progressive‘ blindness. Progressive tell us that by
eliminating poverty we will eliminate much vice and crime.

5. How Poverty Creates Crimes
Greater socioeconomic gaps encourage greater crime
Children from poor family have tendency on snatching,
stealing, drug addiction, teasing and other juvenile crimes
from childhood.
Poverty creates unemployment and depression.
"Poverty is the reward of honest fools.“ and that’s why
people start committing crime to make more money.

6. Correlation between Poverty and Crime
Poverty, in the modern society has proven to become one of the leading
causes of criminality.
Studies conducted in Psychology with regard to aggression and
criminality point towards the fact that lowered income people believing
that society has failed them and therefore.
The Economics Perspective points towards people turning to crime in
order to sustain themselves or to bring them out of the poverty cycle.

7. To contribute to the reduction poverty rates on a small scale to begin with
thereby reducing the extent of poverty which leads to crime in a region.
To raise awareness regarding poverty stricken areas on a large scale to
trigger government intervention or action.
To raise awareness regarding the importance of higher national
minimum wages.
Comprehensive strategy should be adopted that links internal
departments across various national organizations.
All poor are not criminals, and all criminals are not demons, these are
situations and conditions which force them on crime’’

8. ALink between Youth Poverty and Crime
Young guys are always attracted to wealthy lifestyle because of
modern world.
Poverty is a strong driver of violent offending amongst young people
Poverty causes unemployment, depression, greed
the youth and adult criminal justice systems appear to punish the poor
and reproduce the very conditions that entrench people in poverty and
make violence more likely.
Poverty leads to unemployment and family breakdown which are
pushing a significant group of young people beyond the fringes of
society and into a world of 'inertia, cynicism and crime’.

9. Child poverty and crime starts…
Crimes begin from the childhood. As a rule, if a child was born in a poor family, there are more chances
that he will start committing crimes. All over the world there is propaganda of a luxurious way of life, of
successful people, of expensive mansions, cars, of beautiful journeys, etc. When children and adolescents
see that and understand that parents will not provide them with all these things, they start looking for the
opportunity to get money fast to buy at least something. And consequently they decide to commit a
crime. The crimes committed by adolescents are considered the cruelest. The majority of cases of all
crimes show that a driving force of the crimes is the “money”.

10. Poverty Breeds Crime…
• Majority of minor types of crimes are due to
poverty.
• The ratio of crime is greater in undeveloped
countries than developed one.
• Theft and robbery are directly related to poverty
for obvious reasons

11. Unemployment Causes Crime…
• The World Bank report asked why young people joined gangs and
rebel movements. Around 40 percent said unemployment was the
primary factor.
• Young people today have very slim chances of getting even a
mainstream job with low pay. Feeling desperate, they eventually
turn to other sources and means to finally make some money which
most often results in illegal activities, usually through drug dealing
or other crimes which is a very popular strategy among young
people these days.

12. Situation in Bangladesh…..
The human deprivation profile in Bangladesh is
very high. Because of huge economic disparities
large number of people in Bangladesh live below
minimum subsistence lived. This economic
pressure couples many children to invade in
delinquent activities. Many sociological studies
show that the lower one’s economic status, the
greater he is vulnerable to arrest and incarceration.
Living conditions in and around villages and cities
were bevel very good. Rapid growth of population,
a high rate of urbanization outpacing the
