My theory on why crime happens is people commit crime because in some way, shape or form, they are going to gain something from it. People don't commit crime if they aren't getting something out of it. This could be money, an item that may have a certain value to the person, sexual pleasure, etc. People aren't likely to commit crime just because they want too, they will usually do it because they're trying to get a lot out of something but at the same time put very little work into it. For example, if someone robbed a liquor store, they might spend only a few minutes prepping for it, walk in and rob it at gun point, and for what was potentially very little work and low risk the crime could have a high payoff.

In the link above is of a recent "Rogue Dentist" who was doing dental work out of his own home, and 10 years previously he had been ordered by the Supreme Court too stop. When his home was searched, a client list of 1500 people was found and from the results of his work, put the said amount of people at risk to diseases and infections such as HIV and Hepatitis. I believe that the reason he ignored the court order was because of the potential payout for himself was large. Dentists do make large amounts of money and weighing the potential risk of his crime vs. how much he is going to make may have influenced the reason for his decision to continue his dental work, and risk the health of his patients.
