Consequences of Crime for Perpetrators

This page discusses three major consequences of crime on the individual who commits the offense: prison sentences, financial issues, and public embarrassment or humiliation. Each of these consequences can have significant and lasting impacts on the perpetrator's life.

Prison sentences can result in the loss of contact with family and friends, leading to isolation and potential mental health issues. This isolation can hinder the rehabilitation process, making it more difficult for the perpetrator to reintegrate into society upon release.

Example: At Barlinnie prison in Glasgow, family and children are only allowed to visit for 45 minutes Monday to Friday, with prisoners allowed approximately two visits per 28 days.

Financial consequences can be severe and long-lasting. Perpetrators may lose their current job as a result of their crime, and future employment opportunities may be limited due to their criminal record. Additionally, they may face financial penalties such as fines, which can be difficult to pay, especially if unemployed.

Example: Estate agent Lewis Hughes lost his job after assaulting Chief Medical Officer Chris Witty while attempting to take a selfie.

Public embarrassment and humiliation can have profound social consequences. The nature of the crime, particularly if it is of a sexual nature, may lead to unwanted media attention and the development of a negative reputation. This can result in the perpetrator being shamed and rejected by their community.

Example: Many paedophiles and their behaviour are exposed online by community groups that hunt them, leading to public humiliation and social ostracism.

Highlight: The consequences of crime on society extend beyond the immediate impact on victims, affecting the perpetrators in ways that can hinder their rehabilitation and reintegration into the community.

These consequences highlight the far-reaching effects of crime on society, demonstrating how criminal actions can have long-term repercussions not only for victims but also for those who commit the offenses. Understanding these consequences is crucial for developing effective crime prevention strategies and rehabilitation programs.
