Due to their deficiency of proper schooling, they cannot obtain jobs that require any type of higher education. Thus, the drug dealers are left with service sector jobs that pay little over minimum wage. While some service sector jobs require manual labor skills, a large part of jobs require interpersonal skills—something the crack dealers are familiar with in the streets, but do not comprehend in an office setting. In particular, attitude is a key deciding factor of success or failure in the workplace.

The Guidelines Manual states that if the defendant knew or should have known that a victim of the offense was a vulnerable victim, the defendant’s sentence will increase. The Guidelines define a vulnerable victim as a victim who is unusually vulnerable due to age, physical or mental condition, or who is otherwise particularly susceptible to the criminal conduct. The Commentary instructs that the vulnerable victim enhancement should not be applied if the factor that makes the person a vulnerable victim is already incorporated in the offense guideline. It explains that if the underlying offense guideline provides a separate enhancement for the age of the victim, the vulnerable victim enhancement would not be applied unless the victim was unusually vulnerable for reasons unrelated to age.

It was estimated that about 60% of street prostitutes who abuse drugs prior to becoming sex workers, and too, turned and relied on sex work to pay for the continued usage of drugs (Alexander, 1998).

The continuous use of narcotics results in addiction, and financial struggles due to the costly upkeep. “Financial problems are one of the major side effects of drug and substance abuse” (Buaggett, 2015). Addicts cannot adequately take an active role in the economic activities, as the use of drugs inhibits the abilities of the users to earn a daily living. Due to the instability of finances, this would result in selling personal belongings to continue funding the substance of choice, and depending on the addicts living situation, this could lead to losing their house or being removed from their current housing. While being under the influence, an addicts voice of reason is jeopardized, resulting in criminal activities which raise the chances of being apprehended by the law enforcers, as well as, heavy fines are imposed.
Victimization is difficult situation to handle both as a victim and those attempting to provide follow-up care, although there are certain sections of the population that despite being more likely to become a victim are also harder to help. Individuals with disabilities, mental illness, or those who are convicts tend to slip through the cracks in regards to victimization. According to a government survey in 2009 people with disabilities were 50% more likely to become victims of a crime in comparison to their non-disabled counterparts. Some risk factors that are unique to this population is the fact that society tends to separate them from the rest of the population leading to physical and social isolation.

A repressed memory is one heck of a way to ignore the traumatic events set behind someone, a coping method that will inevitably falter is still one to get past the initial shock. Alongside the various other reasons you 've listed, it seems pretty obvious that some things are more apparent than others when it comes to criminal activity.
