Causes of crime
Introduction. The urgency of theoretical research in criminology is substantiated. It is proposed to investigate crime as a single process. There has been a decline in research in this area. Evidence. It is proved that crime has a biological origin, it existed in primitive society. It is argued that the aggressiveness of a person is given to him by nature, which itself is very aggressive. Aggression is presented as one of the forms of human existence. However, the author does not regard any aggression as a socially dangerous phenomenon. Aggression in sports, defending the homeland, arresting a criminal, and some of its other varieties in no way deserve a negative assessment. Punished aggression is immoral behavior that is contrary to the rules of human coexistence. All negative life circumstances, material insecurity, improper upbringing, personal conflicts, etc. act as conditions corresponding to criminal behavior. Conclusion. It is proposed to consider all mercenary crimes as aggressive.
