The Great Crime Debate

[Marq]

Is there a view that robbing a business doesn't affect people?

Ah ha...an attempt to flush out the criminals on this forum. Sorry don't know the answer.

Anyone watched the movie Jerusalema? It opens your eyes to why crime in SA is on a high. Although it is just a movie it clearly shows how poverty and the natural human instinct of survival is definitely driving crime to a large extend. Making things worse in SA is the fact that there is an expectation created by the ANC with every election that the poor will get things free. In terms of businesses it is no secret that a large number of small businesses are soft and easy targets.

IMO every year crime will increase as a larger number of new generation criminals go into crime because their expectations aren't met. We have a problem that will not go away with more serious police action, instead crime will just evolve to adapt. We need an urgent change in society and morality to turn this around.

I will not be surprised if these criminals think that businesses are insured and therefore not that much effected through crime.
