This study aims to analyze criminality from a social perspective by examining the structural factors that influence the formation of criminal behavior. The study employs a literature review approach, identifying and synthesizing relevant scientific literature to explore the relationships among economic conditions, family dynamics, education, and the social environment in shaping criminal activity. The findings indicate that criminality is not merely the result of individual choice, but rather a consequence of complex interactions among various social factors, such as economic inequality, family disorganization, limited access to education, and weak social control within communities. Unstable social structures and low levels of social cohesion are shown to increase individuals’ vulnerability to engaging in criminal behavior. The study concludes that understanding and addressing criminality requires a multidimensional approach that strengthens social structures, rather than relying solely on law enforcement measures.
