Possible Causes of Violent Crime According to the Experience of a Probation Officer

Mate Hollosvolgyi, University of Public Service, Faculty of Law Enforcement, Doctoral School of Law Enforcement, probation officer

The number of violent crimes shows a downward tendency in a domestic context, which, according to the police, is attributed to the technical improvements in crime technology and more efficient forensic investigation. Low education and social status, as well as inadequate parental care and upbringing, are among the main determinants of deviance and violent crime, from which all acts that do not comply with social norms can be inferred and deduced. In my study, I explore the causes of violent crime by a review of the literature and available statistical data, as well as through the analysis of the educational background of prisoners under probation supervision.

Keywords: Probation, violent crime, level of education, deviance.
