We explain what crime is and what juvenile delinquency consists of. Also, how organized crime develops.
What is crime?
Crime is a concept that is used daily to refer to different situations. When we talk about crime we are referring to the fact of committing one or more crimesis an action that people carry out when violating the laws and for which, if they are convicted of such acts, they must serve a punishment imposed by a judge.
The judicial bodies are those that determine the type of penalty, depending on the degree of the transgression. Tried individuals will have the right to defensewhether hired on their own or through State-appointed attorneys. This is why the final result may not be fair to the plaintiffs or affected parties.
The The most common punishments are prison or imprisonment and also fines.although there are also others, depending on the country or state in which they are prosecuted, in which the defendant can even serve the death penalty (execution), although this is rare.
In others it simply varies by the number of years, In some it extends for lifethe latter usually takes place in the case of having committed homicides or leading groups that have committed murders. There are other situations where the designated time is so short that it can be paid for through daily signatures. Social work counts in the same way as punishment.
We are currently fighting against this phenomenon that has always existed, perhaps eradicating it is impossiblebut its control must be evaluated due to the precariousness of the punishment systems and the few effective prevention mechanisms that exist.
Juvenile delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is that perpetrated by minors (depending on the country, it can be up to 17 years old) and they have a specific court for their processing, which aims at re-education and inclusion, always keeping youth protection in mind. That is, not only apply a sanction.
In Anglo-Saxon countries, such as the United States, youth crime tends to be more violent (armed robbery, intimidation, rape, etc.) than in other parts of the world, such as Latin America, where it is usually related to trafficking or consumption. of illicit substances and the theft of spices are usually thefts. Although also the violence with which they operate has been increasing in recent times and are the main focus of gangs that want to recruit members to commit their misdeeds.
Organized crime
Organized crime, this is planned and Its members are perfectly designated to fulfill specific roles within the group. This term was used for the first time to classify the movements made by the mafias.
The police have always worked in secret to be able to deactivate these powerful groups, which in some parts of the world, have become “owners” of territoriesspreading fear in their surroundings.
