Since the biblical crime at the Garden of Eden, societies have emerged, laws have been created, and prohibitions have been declared but violations for forbiddances have continued. Crime has been with us from the very beginning; it has never ceased to disturb men’s living together. Moreover, it has become a common societal phenomenon, viewed by some as a normal symptom, as if it was a functional component of the organization of man groupings.

Newspaper and television news updates are loaded with all sorts “misbehavior”: murder, rape, theft, robbery and others. For this study, the crimes classifies into three: crimes against property (theft), crimes against person (murder), and rape.
