Many people are too scared to leave their home because of a fear of crime.

Some people think that more should be done to prevent crime, whereas
others feel that nothing can be done.

What are your views?

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.
