Social responsibility my ass.............

Examine the most common reasons for not reporting crimes to the police. Discuss how these illustrate either the social problems or social responsibility perspective.
There are many reasons that people fail to report crime. Insurance rates usually go up if we are talking about property damage. Domestic issues are kept quiet when possible and there are many people that engage in mutual combat. Fear, shame, guilt, can all be reasons that people fail to report crime. Social problems perspective is saying that people are not actually responsible for their problems, and that society should have prevented their problem. Social responsibility theory says that individuals make choices to commit crime, and have to take responsibility instead of blaming lack of programs available to them. Personally I think that the social problems perspective is just a cop out. People need to make a choice to do what is right despite of their circumstances or what is available to them, you have to fight and be the example that no matter what you are born into you can still do well. I cannot stand when people want to waste their whole life talking about their mother did this and their friend made them try drugs, take some responsibility in what your future holds, change things do better than all the people thought you could just because you can. Otherwise be that same old person at the end of your life talking about what you could have done if others would have just done this or that.
