Criminal legal regulations essential for a country:

Crimes in Bangladesh:

In Bangladesh the reason behind the increasingly criminal behavior rate can be described as Fraud Triangle Theory. There are times when people in Bangladesh are forced to commit a crime because of the pressure they face from the political parties. But, most people commit crimes because of the pressure to earn money. Not everyone in the society belongs to a similar financial background. Therefore some of them are deprived of basic human rights. Thus they take the easy way of committing crime to earn their livelihood. Some criminals come from families that are either broken or they have a history of committing crimes whereas some of them come from families where there is inadequate parental control. These are mostly the reasons why some people tend to commit crime in Bangladesh, resulting in increasing the crime rate over the period of time. Some of the prima facie examples of the crime in Bangladesh are: vandalism, white collar crimes, corruptions through political leading party members, bribery, problems within the law enforcing authorities, more laws but less applications, corruption of judicial services & government officials, drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, contract killing, fraud, human trafficking, robbery, corruption, black marketeering, political violence, terrorism and abduction, wildlife trafficking, among others.
