CAUSES OF CRIME ROOT IN MOST LOCALITY.
Day in, day out on the data, there are all sorts of reports. Crime opinions are a predominant vicinity of modern-day events. Almost each and every day there are posts about crimes.
The charge at which people commit crime has risen immensely in each and every nook of the world. People have tried to apprehend the elements of crime, then as unexpectedly as extended if we exhibit off up spherical the world , we can see that many of the crimes are precipitated with the aid of the use of accepted typical performance of the utilization of way the use of manageable of human beings who abuse pills and alcohol, politics , and poverty.
Poverty is one of the indispensable reasons for crime. Countries with excessive costs of monetary deprivation have a tendency to witness increased crime costs than distinct countries. Since people do not have the functionality to tightly closed a dwelling in the suitable ways, they invest their time in crook things to do questioning about the reality that they are no longer totally an handy manageable to get what they decide for then again additionally do now no longer require any distinct prerequisite talents.
The ever-increasing divide we are witnessing between the prosperous and the bad can also be attributed to larger and increased of the terrible searching to crime as a capability for living. Not being capable to earn and hold themselves leaves human beings so aggravated that they resort to illegal plausible to preserve themselves and their families.
Drugs have continuously been notably criticized via critics. A man or woman who is addicted to drug will at one thing in time do some concern he/she isn’t supposed to do. Drug addicts are in many instances unable to get rid of dependency as a grant up supply up stop result of which their existence starts off evolved getting stuffed with horrible habits. A horrible way of existence compels a person to undertake habits which he/she distance themselves from. After research, when the most violent criminals had been requested about their crimes, they blamed tablets as the primary reason. Drug dependency is some splendid rampantly developing sickness which has slowly encapsulated many elements of the world.
Another root purpose to crime is politics. This hassle is many instances brushed beneath the carpet then once more is integral to deliver it in the spotlight. The stress to get that seat is what swings many politicians to equip the youths with weapons and characteristic criminal activities. In this day and age, it is acquainted for politicians to appoint mobs and hire human beings at reduce costs to harm into a putting up or commence a war-like united states of affairs indoors the country.
Politics have commonly been the assignment of severe media scrutiny, and the truth be told, it is regularly the mother of all the troubles in international areas which haven’t stabilized. In developing worldwide places it is popular for politicians to kill human beings and to be determined responsible of murder. There have been pretty a few conditions in many worldwide areas the area politicians had been decided responsible of having killed their human beings in masses.
The causes of crime are complex. Poverty, politics, alcohol and drug abuse can be associated to why human beings smash the law. Some are at huge hazard of turning into offenders due to the fact of the situations into which they are born.
In my conclusion, I will say it is quintessential to proceed to be away from crime. The world is truly blind in setting apart needs from desires. Even if you have much less money for survival, you have to be delighted with it as a desire of inclined to contour yourself in the pool of crime. And then once more government create sufficient jobs in other decrease the price of unemployment main to poverty which is swallowing human beings these days which is also a essential root motive to crime.

Traditional values an option for anti-corruption drive — (Part 1)
One of the issues we have been grappling with as a nation is corruption, and it has had such a devastating effect on our national development. I have been convinced that until morality becomes the foundation upon which our governance system is built, we can never go forward as a nation.
Our traditional practices, which have shaped our cultural beliefs, have always espoused values that have kept us along the straight and the narrow and have preserved our societies since ancient times.
These are values that frown on negative habits like stealing, cheating, greediness, selfishness, etc. Our grandparents have told us stories of societies where stealing was regarded as so shameful that offenders, when caught, have on a number of instances committed suicide.
In fact, my mother told me of a story where a man who was living in the same village as her mother (my grandmother), after having been caught stealing a neighbour’s cockerel, out of shame committed suicide on a mango tree. Those were the days that shameful acts were an abomination.
Tegare worship, a traditional spiritual worship during which the spirit possesses the Tegare Priest and begins to reveal secrets, was one of the means by which the society upheld African values in the days of my grandmother and the early childhood days of my mother.
Those were the days when the fear of being killed by Tegare prevented people from engaging in anti-social vices. These days, people sleeping with other people’s wives are not uncommon.
These wrongful behaviour was not countenanced at all by Tegare. One was likely going to lose his life on days that Tegare operates, and so unhealthy habits like coveting your neighbour’s wife was a taboo.
Stealing of other people’s farm produce, for instance, could mean certain death or incapacitation of the whole or part of the body in the full glare of everybody. People realised that there were consequences for wrongdoing, and this went a long way to motivate the society to adhere to right values.
Imagine a President being sworn into office and whoever administers the oath says, “Please say this after me: I, Mr. …., do solemnly swear by God, the spirits of my ancestors and the spirits ruling in Ghana, that should I engage in corrupt acts, may I and my family become crippled, may madness become entrenched in my family, may incurable sicknesses and diseases be my portion and that of my family, both immediate and extended.”
Can you imagine a situation where a few weeks afterwards the President goes to engage in corrupt acts and we hear of his sudden demise or incapacitation and confessing that he engaged in corrupt acts before passing or before the incapacitation—and the effect it will have on his successor? I believe we have to critically examine this option to curb corruption.
My grandmother gave me an eyewitness account of one such encounter where a woman died instantly after the Tegare Priest had revealed a wrong attitude she had displayed during the performance on one of the days scheduled for Tegare spirit manifestation.
According to her story, the Priest, after he had been possessed by the spirit, declared that for what the woman had done, he would not forgive her and that he would kill. Instantly, according to my grandmother, the lady fell down suddenly and she died—just like what happened to Ananias and his wife Sapphira in Acts Chapter 5.
