Do ciminals get their ideas on movies? If criminals are equipped with more

I don't think so I think they want to rob a place or hurt some one they don't needed misson impossible to do it that is the crazy question to ask...Think back there were westerns cowboys and indians.... cd

Crimes began long before there was television. It just got worse with media reports and new action-packed violent movies. As criminals get smarter, so should our enforcement officers who must always be one step ahead (which is not always the case). I guess we need those movie producers to be Advisers to the police as they are really creative people by showing new and bold ways of committing crime - ways which current and future generations would follow.

I don't think that you can blame movies on the way that criminals act. I think that criminals act the way they want to and they try to blame what ever they can so they can try and get a way with it.

I think that the criminal mind will do criminal acts whether they watch movies or not. Major crimes were committed way before TV or movies. However, I think that some movies can and do have an impact on some teenagers. I honestly believe that some teens act out some things they see in movies because these acts seem glamorized and/or glorified in the movies, even though they are despicable acts in real life. I hate to see new movies coming out with revenge or criminal acts as their main theme, especially when these acts are glorified in any way. Movies about anarchy, revenge, hate groups or just mentally unbalanced people are so often viewed by some as something they'd love to do in real life. I think that, mainly, I'm referring to those movies that we hear about some teenager watching over and over again just prior to going out and shooting a lot of people in their schools or murdering their parents/authority figures. There does seem to be more and more of that going on these days. I liked the "good old days" when movies were cute or had moral values as their theme. I'm afraid those days are gone, though, and it hurts me badly. The world seems to be going to hell in a hand basket and the movie industry is doing very little to change that for the better.

If the criminals have the technology, chances are the cops also have access to something. That's not to say that crooks aren't ahead of the game. They have to be or be caught. But, it's not like the criminals are somewhere creating their tech to the complete ignorance of the police. So, if they did have that fancy stuff, the cops would probably have something to combat it. As for whether movies increase criminal behavior, I don't believe so. People make their own choices. People might get ideas from movies, but they choose to commit the crime. We have to hold people accountable for their own choices and not blame external forces. If they are susceptible enough to use a movie as an excuse, they'll find another one. Something they read, something they saw, something someone said, they'll find a reason to do what they do.

Could be... Movies like Ocean's Eleven may spark some ideas for professional thieves..... Some movie writers are sooooooo brilliant to come up with amazing films that poeople would enjoy to watch.. unfortunately...criminals do enjoy it too!

Yes...movies can create fascination in the minds of the criminals then it will fuel their desire to initiate the crime just by following what's on the movie. It is really dangerous if this criminals will be much more high-tech savvy and that would be dangerous to caught them. So movies are not good sometimes if it is full of violence and crimes.

I'm sure that movies play a big part in giving criminals ideas for their crimes, it's a shame but I'm pretty sure this takes place. I'm going to try and attempt to place myself in the mind of a criminal! He/she sees something in a movie and thinks 'I'd like to try that, that looks really exciting!' I guess this will only apply to those people that really have their wires crossed in their mind! I hope that they never ban movies as a result of this though, that would truly be a disaster! Andrew

People are not born criminals but they become one by either the influence of the wrong doers, by society, by peer groups, by families, or simply by media, so there are a lot of reasons why they becomes criminals too and that is why there are psychotherapy to help these people if ever they are in this situation and are willing to overcome that.

i think so,,,many people get everything through technology, like internet, even from our Television. about movies, it's like a model for someone to act or imitate. i think many criminals was inspired from such kind of movies :) happy mylotting.

in a way, they do get their ideas from movies. they may not have the most modern or high-end gadgets, but they always get ideas from them. if they are really bent on that idea, they will really find ways to acquire gadgets and if this is not feasible, might have to improvise things. movies, in a way, may have taught some criminals in getting away from crime scenes and devise a way to escape. well, maybe... criminals have criminal minds and they always find a way to commit wrongdoings.

most of the clips from movies are one or some day which occurred in some lives.there is good and bad to take from movies and they will be successful in life if they take good and surely fail one or the other day if they grasp the bad from it.

I think people can get some information from everywhere including the movie.
