Change in social psyche: A trigger to commit crime

The crime among the youngsters is the most suspected factor for the increase in rate and intensity of existing risks. The highest probability of extreme crime cases and the emergence of new vulnerabilities in Southern delta regions of India has stood out as the reason for undertaking this study in major prisons of this multi hazardous region. The different criminal activities among the youth are becoming one of the most important economic and political issue in the coming decades of Southern India, especially when it has a negative impact on the economic growth and has displaced lives and livelihoods of the public. This intention of committing crimes has led to decline in ‘security’ and ‘social capital’ which are the two main prerequisites for the development and progress in any society, and lacking them may end up in recession and increased crime.
