why people steal cars

people steal cars for many reasons. One reason is that the thief needs transportation and uses the vehicle to get some where. Another reason is to steal the car for parts and sell the parts for money. And another reason is some people get a high feeling from stealing a car and they then become addicted to that feeling so they steal more and more to re create the feeling.

the most stolen car in canada is a 2000 honda civic SiR 2-door
To protect your car park it in the light lock it and have a car alarm

Why are men driven to sexual assault

Sexual behaviour could be socialized in males because much of our behaviour is learned in social settings based on peers, parents, media. Peers influence sexual behaviour because it is important for an individual to feel accepted by his peers so his sexual behaviour will probably be influence by the behaviours of his peers. Depending on the values of the parents the behaviour of the kids will be quite different from one family to the next; in families were there is mutual respect boys will treat their girlfriends with respect. The media seems to say that it is OK to be a skank and to use your body to control men. Then the men expect the women to do that and if they don't they make them.



Sexual assault is a crime of control, power and the type of nature of the man involved in the assault.This would be a hypermasculine man because by definition someone who is hypermasculine craves sexual control, is aggressive and cares only for his own needs.

In Wednesday's Colonist there was an article about a Chinese teenager rescued from working in a bawdy house. Zhao Xiao Jin has been charged with keeping a bawdy house living off prostitution and procuring someone to become a prostitute. In this case his motivation was profit from sex. He would have had complete control over his employees.

On The Sidewalk Bleeding
In this story the main character belongs to a gang and wears gang colours. He goes to buy some cigarettes and gets stabbed by an opposing gang member he tries to take off the gang jacket so he does not die as just another gang member. His girlfriend is devastated by his death.

To mitigate the effects of crime on both the victim and the families, in a perfect world there would be no crime. However we don't live in a perfect world, so what do we do? Hire more law enforcement officers, with this the visible presence alone may cause people to be afraid to commit a crime, because of fear of being caught, plus with more law enforcement officers more area can be covered and the respond time for an officer to reach a crime scene would decrease giving the perp less chance to escape.
