IntroductionThis article will attempt to analyze the relationship between young people and the reasons for their involvement in car thefts and high speed chases with the police. These pursuits are usually preceded by the theft of a motor vehicle and the motivations for their involvement vary considerably from offender to offender. The possible structural causes of such crime will be explored first focusing primarily on the cultural and regional aspects of heightened susceptibility environments, followed by an exploration of the crime from an Edgework perspective in which it will be argued that theft Car rides and car rides are rewarding in a physical and mental sense for the abuser. The male-dominated nature of this crime, which will be explored later, is interesting but not surprising. Interviews and quotes from the authors themselves, from multiple sources, have been included to provide a more direct and personal insight into their internal thought processes regarding the enduring nature of this criminological phenomenon. Structural Explanations First, it is important to note that although criminological theories regarding perpetrator environments have been around for centuries, car theft is a much more modern form of crime. The accelerated expansion of cities and communities during this period to what we observe today has largely affected the cultural dynamics within them. This breakdown of the notion of an intimate sense of community has invariably led to a lack of intimate connections between families. Modern crime has often been thought to arise from these ashes in areas where social disorganization existed, ultimately leading to individual disorganization.

Grand Theft Auto is committed for a number of reasons ranging from monetary gain, out of necessity influenced by structural and environmental factors, to displays of nonconformity and individuality, to hedonistic and primitive displays of masculinity. These latter motivations are generally mutually exclusive to those mentioned above and cause more concern in society because they are not easily remedied except through a paradigm shift from the causal conventional values ​​that our society promotes..
