Crime Happens

Boredom is one of the big reasons I believe crime happens. There are many other reasons why crime happens, mental disorder, sexually abused, pay back, emotions, money, drugs, alcohol and the way your raised can be a part of it. Boredom can lead to doing stupid things. Killing someone, accidental or not, stealing, and vandalism. People in many age groups, starting at around 13 and up start hanging out with kids that peer pressure them to do things you wouldn't normally do. Courtenay has a lot of vandalism and stealing, there isn't a lot of stabbing or shootings. Any crime you do, there are consequences for your actions. The law is there for a reason. Every individual has the right to say no to something they don't want to do. If you have a mental disorder, or you sleep walk, it's different. There is still a consequence, its just isn't as harsh of one. It doesn't matter if your friend peer pressures you, it is still your choice to not follow, or to follow. When teenagers or adults are bored they're most likely going to find something to do that causes trouble, or is a crime. Crime is a serious offence and they make punishments to assure and try to keep the people in the community under control. Without the law, things would be out of control and people would do what they please without worring about getting in trouble with the law.
