It is quite obvious that the rate of crimes are increasing day by day in all

societies in the world, but I personally do believe that there are a lot which
can be done by both the governments and the individuals to reduce the
crimes in communities.

A lot of important measures, on the one hand, can be taken by the

governments in order to reduce or even eradicate different types of
crimes .First, governments can introduce more police forces everywhere
to monitor people s activities and stop them from committing crimes.
Second, the state can apply new technologies such as surveillance cameras
in the streets, shopping centers, restaurants and all public places to cease
criminals .Third, strict punishments on criminals can have really
preventive and deterrent effects on all age groups in society , so by using
harsh penalties like emprisonment,physical or financial punishments the
rate of crimes can be decreased.

On the other hand, individuals in societies can be of great help to cut down
on the number of crimes being committed. To my mind, the overwhelming
majority of people tend to participate in activities assisting the government
to keep the society a safe place for their own families and the others and
for all age groups .Take as an example, most people by reporting the
problems to police can play an indispensable role in crime-prevention
activities. In addition, when people themselves care about decreasing
heinous crimes in cities, it can be sort of a preventive action to harness
well the situation in society by government as well.

To conclude, in order for a society to be a safe place to live in, all society
members including the governments and people must take necessary
measurements to keep it a crime-free place.
