Crime can be defined as a constituted offence that merits community condemnation. In
simple words it is an act that causes harm or damage to a person, a group of people, a community
or to property / assets. This act is against the law and have many types of punishments and fines
according to the extend to which the crime activities has been practised. Generally the authority
to give punishment against the crime and to the practiser is the responsibility of the government
and its specialised departments (John, 2018). The local society is a group of general people that
live together as colony and considered themselves as a part of the community. The crime has a
deep effect on the people and on the large basis to the society as whole. It forms an frightfulness
feeling in the minds of people that lead them to feel insecurity in many ways such as – to roam
alone, go out at late nights, handle their valuable assets or to even leave in the society or a at a
particular area / place. The local people are most effected people from this illegal act and the
practiser of these acts have their most focus on these local people only to minimize the
circumstances they can face and easiness in the process of practising the crime activity. It have a
deep impact on even the physical and mental health of people due to the worry and scared
feeling. The crime keeps on changing and evolving with them time as the government bodies

best to keep them and their families away form these type of activities that even lead to harming
the childhood and form the introvert characteristic in them due to spending their most of the time
at home to be away from the crimes (Radoini, 2020).

value and make the process efficient or easy. This has given the crime practiser the opportunity
to find loopholes in the security of technological tools to enjoy a gain of money or data. The
accounts in the banks are being focused. The password to the secured information or data are
being hacked from the users. Even a single click in the technological tools, from persuasion from
the robber or by mistake can lead to high losses. The cyber crime of money theft form the bank
