Top 10 Worst Crimes a Person can Commit
There is hardly a society in the world that is free of crime. Robbery, murder, rape, child abuse, kidnapping, such acts have become so prevalent that the governments and law enforcement agencies find themselves banging their heads against the wall to come up with a way to curb and eventually eliminate them completely from their jurisdiction.
Some crimes are considered worse than others based on the severity of the harm that is done to someone or the society. Irrespective of how high or low a crime sits on the list of worst crimes, they all need to be removed from the society completely.
