Genetics, Poverty, and Media

The main causes of crime that we have been discussing the past couple of days included Genetics, Poverty, and Media. These seem to be the main causes of crime becasue throughout time criminologists have studied because in a more populated yet lower class area more citizens are going to commit a crime rather than in a less crowded upper class area because poverty makes citizens feel that they have to commit crime in order to survive, along with seeing all the crime on the news or in the newspaper makes people feel that they themselves have to commit crime in order to protect themselves in their neighborhood. I personaly believe that media may have a slight impact on the society but not at all a major impact, i believe that people themselvees create crime not society alone depending on the financial state of the community. I think that to prevent the increase of crime we need to stop the "yellow journalism" in the newspaper and on the news. While upper class citizens may feel that since the lower class citizens get foodstamps and welfare that they commit crimes against these citizens because they feel that the government gives lower class citizens get unfair advantages.
