Abstract

One of the major problems facing many countries is poverty. The factor of poverty among the causes of crime increases its importance from day to day. Crime can be defined as a violation of the law for the purpose of causing material and moral harm that needs to be investigated in multidimensional ways. The reasons for the crime and crime in the research subjects of Social Sciences and Forensic Sciences are very important. Elements that lead to crime should be evaluated in terms of material and moral aspects. Individuals who have migrated from the village to the city, working in low-income jobs, are prone to economic reasons such as theft, extortion and captivity. It can be said that crime and poverty are in a relationship in the light of the efforts focused on poverty and crime. Crimes for economic harm are often committed by people with low socio-economic levels. The majority of children who are pushed to crime are children away from family supervision, which is growing in economic difficulties. The socio-economic situation of the family is very effective in dragging these children to crime. Poverty is a global problem, but its impact on crime is immeasurable. As the effects of poverty reach global levels, many international institutions implement policies to combat poverty. Decreasing poverty in parallel with these policies and crimes is important in judicial Sciences.
