Have you met anyone like Hari Singh? Can you think and imagine the circumstances that can turn a fifteen-year old boy into a thief?

Yes, I have met many people like Hari Singh. They can be seen on railway stations, bus stations, as domestic help etc. It can be said that the circumstances can turn anyone into a thief irrespective of the age, gender, caste or region.

Some of the possible circumstances are as follows:

1. Poor financial condition.

2. Lack of good guidance by the parents.

3. Father’s death (considered as the disciplinarian)

4. Broken homes.

5. Bad company of friends

6. Extravagant spending.

7. Peer pressure.

8. Neglect of delinquent behaviour
