When it comes to politics, it is a form of government that encompasses all aspects of societal advancement, such as the economy, education, and health care. Politics affects every aspect of society because it determines what, when, and how a society operates; in other words, it reshapes people's lives. For example, in a democratic state, people make free decisions and speak freely, whereas in an authoritarian state, people do not.
Starting with the evolution of crime and progressing through the changes in British society, such as British Industrialization and Urbanization, the French society has likewise gone through the French Revolution.
These two phenomena cause a lot of crime, especially in British society where industry occurs; industrialization is tied to modern capitalism because it is about the "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie." People began to use machines instead of personnel, which resulted in unemployment, which is one of the reasons of crime.
Politics, as previously stated, is the art of ruling, as it evolves around all parts of life, including economics, education, and policymaking for the people's well-being. Failure to do so efficiently has resulted in a slew of societal issues, including unemployment, uneven rights, and illiteracy, all of which contribute to crimes like kidnapping, Internet fraud, banditry, and other sorts of crime.
As a result, critical thought is required while designing a society's political strategy and also when appointing someone to oversee political affairs because it affects our way of life.

Politics to me is a key that locks and unlocks crime and criminal activities in all ramifications. In one of my Lectures at Matropol Intelligence Academy Abuja Nigeria, a new criminological ideology came into my mind, "Dino-Olisa-Orubebelism." Let me explain briefly. In Nigeria, corruption especially financial misappropriation or embezzlement is a major crime ravaging the political scenes, ministries, departments and agencies of government. Unfortunately, cases involving corruption is not a serious offence. One may steal billions of naira belonging to the public for developmental purposes. Upon apprehension and arraignment to court, he will use part of this money and hire thousands of lawyers, most of whom are Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN), who are regarded as legal mini gods, a kind of superhumans! The judgement after long time adjournments will just be like, "Mr. Man, please pay us the tithe of your loot and walk away, please". It is hard for rich men to go to jail in this part of the world. Bail is reserved for them while JAIL is exclusively reserved for the poor for just stealing a loaf of bread! In some cases when the court don't want to entertain the case so that people will understand the extent of the criminality, the corrupt lawyers taking side with the big thief will either go and discuss with criminal medical practitioners and get backdated medical reports, showing that their client has acute-neurological-osteoporosis of the central nervous system which resulted to chronic-epidemological-elephantiasis cum spinal inflammatory disorder. The judge upon hearing such mind-blowing medical jargon will just screamed and say, you're hereby granted bail for urgent medical care after which you will come and continue with your trial. The lawyer to the accused will just echo, thanks my Lord and quickly take his client away and that ends the who matter. Recently, a new tactics just evolved. One notorious public servant was brought to court to answer questions on his involvement in billions of naira embezzlement. His team of lawyers had tutored him never to say even one word. Immediately he was asked a question, he was looking at the man asking him the question like a sheep. After some minutes, he just slumped from the wheelchair where he was brought in and feigned sickness and unconscious. His supporters quickly raised great alarm that he has died oooo. Everywhere was roudy and chaotic as they quickly grabbed him and rushed to unknown hospital where he was flown abroad and that ends the matter. Often times you see the big criminals been brought to court in a wheelbarrow with bandages in their necks and waist. I look forward to seeing a day that Dino-Olisa-Orubebelism will be elevated to a Criminology theory in Nigeria. The political class has all it takes to make or mar the society and I believe that developmental Criminology should be given priority especially in Africa because we are living with monsters and not necessarily leaders.
