do you think that there is an association between a calamity and higher cases of crime in a country?

Poverty can lead people to engage in criminal activities. This is why poor countries have a high crime rate. A hungry man can do anything to get food including stealing.

Natural disasters make people lose their source of livelihood, so they end up engaging in illegal activities to survive. Victims of natural disasters need assistance from the government and humanitarian organisations.

In addition to this, it is so appauling how government do not intervene in cases of these instances, when disaster happens, it definitely claims lives and properties, and the people who live to tell the story may lose all their possessions as a result of such calamity or disaster, but most atimes, you will see that the government of some nations will allow such people to die of hunger, and won't provide any necessary support to help those people.
The hardship those victims face are what Injects the mind of commiting crime in other to survive.Some of them will start robbing, while the ladies will go into prostitutions to to have food to eat.
