Why bank robberies take place -- encounter by police on thieves in Chennai

No body born as thief or robbers as scoiety force a person to do crime one became so and start doing it. There are many crimes which people are doing in front and all of us know but can't caught but poor robbers they are not politicians who can save them self. I didn't blame on those robber's but it the society who throw the food to dustbin but can't give the same to poor people. What these people will do. There is emense population in INDIA and most of the people are poor and even youg people they get educatio but didn't get job then what shall they do. This world is what you must have to snacth from other if they can't give. Fighting for living is main motive here. Inquality in INDIA where most of the poeple are poor and few people who are rich geting ricjher and poorere geting poorer. There many scams etc that politicians do but they didn't care about food and jobs etc for the public. How can one live without fighting. You say that robber's know that they will get caught hahahha i laugh on it. Those poeple either didn't told to police that's why they get fired if they would have all money would have been distributed hahhah

Bank robbery is a crime. And we have to protest againts this. I was shocked to know again 2 bank robbery incident.

I too read a bit about the news Ravisivan. But, should they have been killed like that? They were only robbers and not murderers. Or am I wrong? I am not sure of the facts. But the fact that these 35 year old people were killed brought a twinge in a corner of my heart.

I am sure it is not difficult to figure out why bank robbers want to rob a bank, even though they may stand a chance get arrested later, the incentive and all those $$$ always override the fear they will get caught. It make them feel good spending other people $$ without having to work for it, there are always some one with this type of mentality living in our society that like to feed on other people hard work to get rich.

Everybody thinks that it can't happen to them. They think they are smarter than everyone else.

Thirst for getting money that you have not worked for. It is good thing that they were caught by the police.

I am sure it is no hard for anyone to figure out why robbery take place in our society, it is quite obvious bank robbers have their personal reason and plenty of incentive to do so even though the chance of getting arrested is present.

I wonder what their compulsions were.. Honestly, we are so overpopulated and so short of police force that people are bound to take chances. So first step should be to bring down population may be..

Hi ravisivan: There are so many reasons why robberies may take place. Many answers are correct. One of them is the lack of opportunities, bad economy, etc. But also people losing their values and bad politics against insecurity are reasons why these situations happen. ALVARO
