What was your main reason(s) for committing crime(s)?
If you never committed a crime then say why you think others might mainly do it.
By the way, crime doesn't have to be major. It can be anything petty from vandalising to stealing to smoking weed etc.

One time I tried spray painting 'the world is yours' on a wall near a high school hockey rink but I ran out of paint near the end and it just read 'the world is yo'. Some spirited motivation that crime did.
I never have. I always have felt guilty when I've been about to, and decided against it.
I think most people (especially teenagers) commit crimes because of boredom. Also when they hang out with the wrong people. A lot of times there are two teens that wouldn't commit any kind of crime on their own, but when they are paired with a certain kind of person they influence each other to commit crimes. Kind of like with Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold from Columbine. Another reason would be for revenge. That's also a big one.
Money and drugs/alcohol. That is the root of most crime, in one way or another.
smoking weed, not for a rush or anything like that. I like smoking pot, and I don't care if its against the law.
I smoked weed because I wanted to experience it, I see no problem with committing that so-called crime.
The worst thing I did? Egg a house.
Worst thing I've wanted to do? Become a professional thief. Not for the money, just to test myself against others and see if I can outwit them.
Just because you might hang-out with people who commits a crime, that doesn't mean you have to. Think for yourselves and not be a follower.
I smoke weed: it's illegal but not criminal where I live. I think the law prohibiting it is ridiculous and stupid.
I also speed - up to 10km over the posted limit.
I'm extremely bored. I'll do anything to make my life a bit more interesting.
