Some crimes go unrecorded or undetected, because some people feel pressure, they may be domestic or drug usage, there is even a class difference. Most crimes that are published in the media come from working class backgrounds, like ‘hoody culture’, this created a media panic, and automatically hoodies were banded and associate with crime, and deviance.

We tend to believe what we think about someone rather than getting to know who the individual really is. These actions can trigger hostility with in a group, and could also cause inappropriate thoughts to arise because you dislike someone just because they have been stereotyped. An example of a stereotype you find in your everyday life. Stereotyping is done by almost everyone, there are many that we all see in our everyday life. For example, if we know someone is on welfare, we tend to think they are lazy and don't care.

Social gambling (Dickerson & Baron, 2000) typically occurs with friends or work colleagues, lasts for a fixed amount of time and results in affordable, although unwelcomed, financial losses.

The partner is quickly becoming the plaything if it does not remain consistent. He begins to cover the alcohol-related failures of the addict to lie for him to protect him. Out of love he wants to help him to get the problem under control, said he often neglected and his own life. The partner is the co-alcoholic, that is, it can also draw by supporting the addict in his particular alcohol lifestyle from alcohol. Often partners of alcoholics fall also in great self-doubt.
Which brings me to my next arguement. The community is morally weakened by gambling Our community is morally weakened by these gambling adictions. Gambling can be defined as aspiring for other peoples money with out working for it. It also leads us and our community away from the path of giving and kindness and closer to the path of rivelry. Its nice to give or if somebody gives you money out of their choice, at first gambling may have been a small game but now we are happy when the other person loses all their money and in some cases their life.

This makes his character and person who thinks that every thing will go the way he thinks but in the end only makes a fool of himself. One of his major floors when his try’s to get the money is his politeness his interaction, honesty and kindness with other people prevents him from being a proper kidnapper and more of a idiot. He constantly apologises to people who try and kill him and when he demands money over the phone and quickly apologises for being rude. (2) Do you identify with the character? And why?
As well, violence is a serious issue, but when a violent act is committed nobody wants to get involved. The world is a threatening place to live in. Not because of a person’s evil doings, but because of those who turn a blind eye to these issues due to poor judgment. Most people have compassion for the needy; however there is not much being done by them to prevent the problem. Poverty is a major issue that many people ignore.
