Motivational factors for modern crimes

Abstract

Motivational factors that influence crimes in the present era are increasingly complex due to economic, social, psychological, and technological factors, especially in the context of Thailand where patronage structures, patriarchal culture, and economic inequality are important factors. This research presents a conceptual framework in terms of both the theory of crime economics, stress theory, and social learning to analyze the deep causes of modern criminal behavior. The results of the analysis indicate that crime prevention requires an integrated approach in terms of both structure and psychology, and must emphasize raising the level of education and understanding of rights and laws for the general public.
