How crime started in Trinidad & Tobago

Grand theft Auto and games of the like are blamed undeservedly. If the one playing these games, don't have the maturity and morality to distinguish virtual from reality then they themselves are to blame. There's a reason why the ESRB was created. To channel adult/Mature videogames to adult/mature individuals. Don't blame a videogames for our short-commings. The problem with our mentality lies within us a human beings. Its typical that we see the bad in everyting else but never stopped and looked in the mirror and saw the real cause.

Grand theft Auto has alot to do with how youths mentality are today, this game encourages gamers to act like a criminal. Spending much time on that game will cause you to lose sense of reality and think of life just as the game.

I reject that theory completely. I played GTA3, GTA:VC & GTA:SA & I haven't gone on a killing spree or stolen a car. It is the individual who makes a choice.

Yeah lol plus parenting have alot to do with crime as well and how people grow up their children to think. Lack of proper norms and values will result in crime

Now these days you ain't hearing nothing about crime not even on the papers and if you see it it's because it hiding in a corner

Because it elections time people are less interested in hearing about crime but more interested in hearing a set of rubbish for stupid politician

What about the youths these days...hardly hearing about adults committing crime but its the youth boys these days doing all the robbing and stealing...what family values are left in this country..we only living on greed and self-interest now ?

Criminality is and has always been as a result of cultures and values which dictates the choices that someone makes.
Crime in Trinidad started from the very first moment that the evil human qualities of desire, selfishness, greed and prejudice were acted upon.
The three factors of criminality are the prerequisite, perversion and perpetration.
The prerequisite is the person or thing upon which the act is perpetrated.
Perversion is the fertile condition that nurtures and perpetuates criminality.
Therefore a society of leaders with perverted morals is at the root of criminality in Trinidad.

I Love That explanation..also crime can be seen as an act of no socialization or improper socialization by their elders ..also another factor an absence of a male role model in an household. Due to this young adults act out and commit crime
