 There are some factors that could provoke individuals to commit such crime. one of this is the curiosity of oneself that pushes them to do so. and when there is already a habitual act of doing the crime they are already having fun. which could reinforce the individual to continuously doing such. another factor is the obsessive stalking on somebody due to an extreme interest or attraction to somebody. they also does it because of an admiration of ruling over the others like in politics, some politicians tend to destroy others name just to get the desired position in the government.

Reflection


          Upon doing my summary of the points that were discussed during the seminar last Saturday. I have realized that it is not only the technology that is developing due to modernization, but also the way the  crime is being committed. it is really upsetting that even the technology nowadays are being creatively used by the criminals to take advantage on others. however, I'm also happy because the government is already doing their best to intervene this problem which is now experiencing by many people in the philippines.
