A broad range of causes, from lovelessness to poverty and even climate, have been blamed in the effort to explain criminality, with which the human race has been afflicted since a caveman ran off with someone else’s hunk of meat — or, if you prefer, since Cain killed Abel.
Studies in countries such as the US tend to prove that most criminals had troubled childhoods which include being beaten or fatherless in a broken home, for instance. But poverty usually heads the list of the alleged reasons why individuals commit crimes, or end up living lives of crime. As for climate, winter in temperate zone countries is usually a low crime season, plunging temperatures and snow not being conducive to rape, or to robbing a liquor store or service station. Among the fears over global warming is a spike in crime in temperate countries as winters become less severe.
