Thieves have been around for centuries, probably for as long as humans, but armed robbery is a more recent phenomenon. Unfortunately, women have always been the victims of rape and domestic violence. Forgery has been around ever since printing has been used to make money or produce documents.Richpeopleortheirchildrenaresometimeskidnappedandarenot set free until a ransom has been paid. The XX-th century saw the appearance of many organized crimes such as hijacking and drug-smuggling or drugtrafficking. Statistics show an alarming rise in the rate of violent crimes and crimes to do with the illegale sale of arms across the world. Perhaps the most recent crime of all is hacking into computers to access information that helps competitors in their business. This increase in international crime makes one wonder whether it’s still true to say ‘Crime doesn’t pay.’
