The Call of the Wild

It is my belief that crime is decreasing in Canada. There are many reasons for this and I will include some for the convenience of my many readers. My main reason is that crime closely correlates with age and there are not as many youths as there used to be. Tied to youth crime is senior crime, which is seldom seen but much feared. You see, people are getting older all the time, and statistics state that the older you get the less crime you're likely to commit. Another reason is that gender plays a large part in who commits crime. According to all the wise guys, males commit more crimes than females, and with all the femenist groups ruthlessly and mercilessly hunting men down left right and center, crime rates are bound to drop. Firearms availability can help stop firearms related offences, and since Canada has the toughest firearms control laws, gun crimes are not too bad. Of course one of the main reasons is that crimes are against the law, and breaking the law results in dire consequences that no one wants to endure.
A problem with representing violence in the news is that it gets much more face time than anything else. This may be because the media thinks that violent news is interesting news, or maybe because they want to scare people into watching more news. I don't know why they do this, because people will then think that violent crime is all over the place, hiding in their closets and waiting to jump out and get them. If the news reported people leaving the keys to their car inside their car, people might catch on and stop doing that.

Why Crime Happens: An inside look at Rip Taylor

Crime is everywhere, even though so much is being done to put a stop to it, and a vast majority of the population despises crime and criminals. After all, N. Scott Momaday once said that "Art is affirmation." So why does crime happen? I believe that crime doesn't happen for one reason or even several reasons. But some reasons may include want or need, maybe rage, it could even include intoxication, it is a long list and does not really need to be spelled out in this formidable blog. But I'm sure that some idiot full of hot air who took psychology 11 would say that the minds of men are not so easily predicted, so the reasons may not be as simple.

This link leads to a hilarious crime and I believe the reason is sheer boredom and the thrill of committing a crime, and probably some sort of mental problem.
