High rates of crimes and violent activities are becoming a dire threat to the population worldwide. With rapid population growth and challenging economic times in society, criminologists have difficulty controlling crimes leading to extensive studies on the significant causes of crimes. Crime causative factors include social seclusion, economic marginalization, individual rationality, mental wellness, social classes, and economic sustainability. The link between social exclusion, economic marginalization, and crime is a standard theory worldwide. In England, the government has enacted various methods and acts of preventing crime, including education, employment opportunities, and community development.

However, the government can solve crimes more successfully if they focus more on factors underlying crimes rather than ways of preventing crimes. This paper explores the role of socio-economic marginalization in crime and the effects of criminal activities on allied populations and the nation.
