Revolution and crime have been on Earth since the olden days.
A revolution (from Late Latin revolutio which means "a turn around") is a significant change that usually occurs in a relatively short period of time. Variously defined revolutions have been happening throughout human history. They vary in terms of numbers of their participants (revolutionaries), means employed by them, duration, motivating ideology and many other aspects. They may result in a socio-political change in the socio-political institutions, or a major change in a culture or economy.
A normative definition views crime as deviant behaviour that violates prevailing norms, specifically, cultural standards prescribing how humans ought to behave.
A reason why crime exists is due to poverty. Due to the fact that poverty means that a person being poor and having to starve. In a study by the NC State university in North Carolina, it says that the most well-documented effect of childhood poverty is on educational achievement. The lack of education achievement has a cascade effect on children's life chances because those who grow up poor have lower literacy rates, higher rates of dropping out, and higher delinquency rates. Not only that, it also propels a person to go against his principles if he has to and even the morally upright person will do anything to survive. As it goes the survival of the fittest. Stating an example, a man with a family of say 6 members. The sole breadwinner may not be able to earn enough money given the low education level he has attained. Hence by the day, seeing the family starving, he is forced to a corner of sheer pressure and frustration builds up rapidly. Soon enough, he will be contemplating the route to quick riches, illegal one that is. Poverty manifests itself in a lack of educational opportunities, lack of meaningful employment options, poor housing, lack of hope and the prejudice against persons living in poverty. It is by itself a bottomless pithole where people are trapped in it and never escape the wraith of it. This is mainly because of the little education they receive, which then leads to the people not being able to get a good job. This further results in them receiving low incomes and thus, keeps them stagnant at the bottom of the wealth ladder. Again, with little money, they do not have enough to fund their children's education, and this becomes a poverty cycle of which they have to bear the effects
Also, the fact that
However, it is argued that poverty does not necessarily lead to increasing crime rates. A dysfunctional social environment also plays a part, a rather important one. Our social structure mirrors to citizens and communities what we value and how we set priorities. Social root causes of crime are: inequality, not sharing power, lack of support to families and neighborhoods, real or perceived inaccessibility to services, lack of leadership in communities, low value placed on children and individual well-being, the overexposure to television as a means of recreation. When living in places like District of Columbia, there is a high tendency of a child going wayward due to the negative exposure of the neighbourhood. Thus poverty is not the main reason for the crime rates.
Freedom is more of reason rather than poverty for the rise of great leaders who detest their current ruler. In the past, rulers in ancient China suffered a great revolution when their empress Ci Xi blocked any reforms to their countries. This has caused anger to those scholars who were educated and supported democracy and meritocracy. Hence they came together to form a politica party to bring down the last dynasty in China. Although the revolution was successful, both poverty and freedom were the main reasons for it to take place. Thus freedom is another reason for a revolution.
In conclusion, poverty can lead to crime and revolution but not to such great extent of mothering both crime and revolution. One must rate the causes in every different context and then make the decisions.
