Yeah - It is rightly believed that at the height of glory of human civilization, satan comes to play his role. A man becomes unjust and foolish in spite of continuous guidance given by the Creator through His Messengers and Prophets thoughout ages. No matter, how purified and reformed a given society becomes, crimes will still be committed though the difference would be that of degree. It is very essential for us therefore, to examine the problems of crimes and reasons for its prevalence, to study the personalities of these criminals as well as their psychology and nature in order to prevent the future crime rate. Wherever it is neccessary to appropriate the blame on society, it is equally necessary to blame the structure of our social institutions and our leaders and the members of the society who helped in encouraging as driving the criminal to commit a particular crime. Justice delayed is Justice denied. Crime thrives in a society where there is no swift and appropriate punishment for criminals. Unless we put into place and practice appropriate punishment, the society will continue to suffer. We have the laws, the Indian Penal Code is a detailed reference to crime and punishment, but unfortunately they are not enforced due to a variety of reasons.
