Crime can be defined as an act committed in violation of law whereas selfish is what we called is a human behavior that do something just for their own benefit without thinking the others and yes, i totally agree with this statement. There are certain factors that why people commit crime for selfish reason.
Like an english historian Henry thomas buckle say in his quotes that " society
prepares the crime , the criminal commits it". There are many reasons and causes why people commit crime and the root that causes the people being selfish when its time to commit crime is because of greed. For example, people that rob the bank or stealing from others. Some people love luxury and when its time for money they will not thinking the consequences and what the others feeling. This is what we called commit crime for selfish reason.
Moreover, the reasons why i agree with this statement is because people that commit crime for selfish reasons love pride and believing that crime will bring a greater rewards, admiration and excitement to them. They believe that commit crime will bring them power and love the attention that the society gives to them. They feel that they are strong after they succesfully commit the crime and didn't thinking what the others feel.
Lastly, why i think that people commit crime for selfish reasons is because of anger and jealousy and of course revenge. Anger with the world because life is difficult since childhood or they have through the unfavourable memory such as poverty,abused,raped and so on so then after that they commit crime to others. They believe that what they through in the past they want the others feel it and what we called is selfish.
As a conclusion, i re-state my stand that i agree that people commit crime for selfish reason.
