Do you think that these crimes increase during the festive
seasons?

Some have argued that perhaps these disputes leading to murder have

Do you think that there is a link between families' aspirations to a
higher standard of living that is not compatible with their financial
means that causes pressures that lead to these crimes?

Everyone agreed on this point and confirmed that it actually causes
problems, and this is because of the openness to social networking
sites and the feeling of dissatisfaction that some people experience
because of what we see on social media sites and the review of
different standards of living, which raises discontent and envy in the

has given them, and they also pointed out that most of the crimes that
were committed were between the middle class and the poor, and the
culture and education of the individual is a pivotal factor in the issue of
domestic violence in general, but also other issues of society, and one
of them pointed out to the other side that the matter may not reach the
