The causes of violence are many and varied. Among the explanations for violence are exposure to violence, personal traits and makeup, evolutionary factors and human instinct, substance abuse, socialization and upbringing, and cultural values and the subculture of violence.
Terrorism is an act that carries with it the intent to disrupt and change the government and is not merely a common-law crime committed for greed or egotism.
Most experts agree that terrorism generally involves the illegal use of force against innocent people to achieve a political objective, although not all terrorism is aimed at political change.
Terrorism usually involves a type of political crime that emphasizes violence as a mechanism to promote change. Acts of terrorism have been known throughout history with contemporary forms including revolutionary terrorism, political terrorism, nationalist terrorism, cause-based terrorism, environmental terrorism, state-sponsored terrorism, and criminal terrorism.
Some criminologists feel that terrorists are emotionally disturbed individuals who act out their psychosis within the confines of violent groups. Another view is that terrorists hold extreme ideological beliefs that prompt their behavior.Since the attacks of September 11th, responses to terrorism have included the USA Patriot Act, revamping of existing federal agencies such as the FBI, and creation of new agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security.
Self-report studies show that property crime among the young in every social class is widespread. Most thefts are committed by occasional criminals, but other theft-offenders are, in fact, skilled professional criminals.
The great majority of economic crimes are the work of amateur criminals whose decision to steal is spontaneous. Their acts are unskilled, impulsive, and haphazard. Professional criminals make a significant portion of their income from crime, so they pursue their craft with vigor.
There are three career patterns of professional thieves and criminals. First, a youth may come under the influence of older, experienced criminals who teach them the trade. Second, a juvenile gang member may continue their illegal activities at a time when most of their peers have “dropped out” to marry, raise families, and take conventional jobs. Third, a youth sent to prison for minor offenses may learn the techniques of crime from more experienced thieves.
