This debate addresses the role of social stigma as a factor and cause for creating the criminal and crime within society, stigma is a cruel social punishment that society has inflicted on the individual is the act of exclusion and social rejection, for that we say the stigma is a factor in creating the offender and generating crime and increasing its proportion within societies rather than preventing it.
