CONCLUSION:
From the above discussion, we can see that not
only the incident that a crime is committed and so
just have to punish the criminals is a backdated
idea. Now we have to look to the intention of thecriminal and the causes behind his committing the
crime. Without knowing the causes of crime, we
cannot find a solution to prevent crimes from our
society.
