What are the reasons why college students commit crimes?
The specific reasons for college students' crimes are as follows:

1. The market economy profoundly influences and shapes the behavior and thoughts of college students.

There is no denying that the development of market economy has great positive effects, but it also has corresponding negative aspects. The disorder it brings has caused some confusion in people's minds.

2. Self-worth

Values are an important factor that affects and even dominates people's behavior. With the development of society, college students' self-worth has changed. Do not deny that the mainstream is good, but point out that quite a few people have negative and decadent ideas. Mainly manifested in: changes in their own and social understanding; Individualized tendency

3. Immature psychological development.

College students are in adolescence, and their psychology is rapidly maturing, but they are not yet fully mature. They have great psychological ups and downs, are impulsive, have poor self-control ability and lack consideration in doing things. In addition, college students' life experience is shallow, and the society is extremely complicated. Without correct guidance, it is easy to go astray and even lead to crime.

4, the influence of social culture

Due to the reform and opening up, many cultures have emerged in China. The negative influence of some non-mainstream cultures and the influence of western culture and Hong Kong and Taiwan culture with different backgrounds on college students should not be underestimated. These influences are also one of the reasons that lead to college students committing crimes. Social mainstream culture is healthy and uplifting, which has a positive guiding role for college students. However, the cultural dross, such as pornography, violence, absurdity, hedonism, privatization, extreme individualism, cultural commercialization and so on, promoted in the western, Hong Kong and Taiwan cultures have a very bad influence on society and induce college students to commit crimes.

5. Family factors

Nowadays, families, regardless of economic conditions, have given too much love to "spoiled children". Some parents do not hesitate to scrimp and save food, but also design a comfortable environment for their children; Those with good economic conditions regard their children as "the apple of their eyes", which will easily lead to the bad habit of idleness and extravagance of college students, and even lead to crime.
