Crime differs depending on where you are and who you ask. No one is born a criminal unless you have an extreme defect in your head. Obviously something happens to one to turn them into a criminal, but it's not always apparent what that is. if you were to look strictly in Canada it's a result of a variety of reasons and theory's to why people behave the way they do.
One of such ideas is labelled in criminology as choice theory. This is when criminals choose to commit crime selectively, picking situations beforehand and seeing if its really worth it(E.G. The benefit out ways the negatives). This can often but not always occur in areas with lower financial stability. People are conditioned to criminal behavior and can follow the influence.
Theft as a result of lacking money in these poorer conditions is what often takes place. People, after being situated in a poor life for so long can become desperate for things. People can also be led to crime by their peers, being encouraged by one another to fit in. In some cases people commit crimes as a result of another baring issue such as depression. When society labels individuals they can often be led to follow those labels, promoting both discrimination and crime as a whole. Society often strays away from these groups of people.
Now all this is great to know about criminology and definitely reasons as to why people do the things they do. I believe on their own they explain certain factors of crime contribution but it's not really a single definitive answer to why crime happens. And that's because I don't believe it's just a cause of one thing. Situations differ and can lead to many outcomes, including crime. Ultimately I do believe crime really comes down to a combination of issues that lead someone to doing such things. Whether it's being cast down a path or depression etc. There is never a single factor as previously mentioned that causes crime to occur.
