Dmitry G2021-06-23T01:20:34+00:00Shoplifting may not be such a serious crime, but it still is a crime nonetheless. Of course, some people suffer from certain conditions, when shoplifting is performed pretty much automatically and they just cannot help it. This may excuse some shoplifters, but most definitely not all of them. It is wrong on so many levels. Even if you think that stealing from a big and rich shop is not that bad, think again.

It is important to understand that criminal cases are reviewed by the criminal court and family related cases are reviewed in the civil court.

Some people are wondering if their criminal actions may have an impact on their family cases, especially the custodial ones. Even though the courts act separately, the civil court will have...

That is right – the number of crimes that people commit grows on yearly basis. There are plenty of reasons for such violence – people these days lack decent employment opportunities, they live in a genuinely fast paced society, where most of us are depressed and frustrated – the anti-utopia model is now turning into reality. The law enforcement authorities do their best to fight with the crime and people, who commit it. With that said, in some cases everything is not as straightforward as it may seem at first.
