Why Do Criminals Commit Crimes in the First Place? Anonymity

Abstract

Crimes are illegal but some crimes are legal. We think of crimes such as stalking, physical abuse by parents or teachers, body shaming as not a crime. But a crime is a deliberate act that causes physical or psychological harm, damage to or loss of property, and is against the law. This study tried to come in front by noticing a psychological phenomenon known as “anonymity” as a cause of criminals to commit a crime. It is a meta-analysis research.
