Summary/Abstract: In the article the author elaborates on the causes of crime considered from the viewpoint of macro-social factors, such as economy, economic system and development, war and war conditions, urbanization and industrialization, which may be e causes of violent crime. Poverty and wealth are most frequently related to property crime, which can sometimes include not only acts of extreme violence (such as robbery) but also domestic violence. However, the frequency of criminal offences against persons tends to be higher in good times than in bad times. A result of the criminogenous impact of war is an increased rate of juvenile delinquency and domestic violence. Due to urbanization and industrialization, family relations become weaker, resulting in adaptation difficulties, frustration and aggression.
