Elements that lead to crime should be evaluated in terms of material and moral aspects. Individuals who have migrated from the village to the city, working in low-income jobs, are prone to economic reasons such as theft, extortion and captivity. It can be said that crime and poverty are in a relationship in the light of the efforts focused on poverty and crime. Crimes for economic harm are often committed by people with low socio-economic levels. The majority of children who are pushed to crime are children away from family supervision, which is growing in economic difficulties. The socio-economic situation of the family is very effective in dragging these children to crime. Poverty is a global problem, but its impact on crime is immeasurable. As the effects of poverty reach global levels, many international institutions implement policies to combat poverty.
