“Guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt”

It’s the statement that we always heard or read when a person is declared guilty for his crime after the due process. From then on, the convicted person will serve and pay for his crime depending on the gravity of his wrongdoing. Ever since, crimes have been reported and recorded already and despite the stiffer penalty being imposed, there are still number of crimes happening day by day. Why people commit crime when we are aware that we could be tried and convicted? Is it a human nature? What pushes someone do these act? Is there something or force from within that is beyond our control? It’s maybe difficult to point out and whatever the reasons are, only the responsible person knows. A person may not imagining it even in his wildest dreams; none just of us maybe is certain how this journey of life or our actions would lead us even with the awareness that we have.

There are so many reason behind committing a crime. It could be from need, passion or just plainly doing it for the sake of it.

@ZedSmart You can say that there are people who are doing things just for the sake of it. They do not care what the consequences are for as long as it satisfy their curiosity and get out of it if they can. Those are the hardened criminals I guess that they really have no remorse in what they have done.

@rsa101 There's truth with this. PS: I was so focused on reading your comment and figuring for response but I was startled by the huge thunder.

You are right that there are several factors. In the case of stealing or doing illegal acts to earn a living it's because they need to survive. It just hard to figure out in the case of doing it because they want to. There must be a demonic spirit inside of them.

Sometimes we do it because its the only option. Sometimes its self defense. Sometimes its in the human nature.

In some case perhaps, when self defense is necessary. So, can it be considered human nature when its premeditated?

You should watch the series Dexter and you would know. Sociopaths don't have emotions and they commit crime for self satisfaction and no amount of penalty can sway them from doing that. Another reason is this, we know that eating pork is not healthy and we know the consequence, but why do we still eat it? But I'm not eating pork at all.

Sometimes, it is a momentary impulse. And sometimes, the person is psycho. Murdering someone cannot be a solution. It will only lead to a series of revenges.

Yes, it depends on the factors. I agree that revenge is not good to cultivate because it's just widening the problems which would pass from generation to generation.
