Crime In
Cities
Crime is a serious problem in big
cities and it is getting worse every year. This is what the police departments
around the country said in their reports last week. The subways are more
dangerous. The streets are more dangerous. You may not even be safe in your own home. Why the
problem is so serious now? This is not an easy a question to answer. There are
may not be a single answer. Many problems seem to make cities so dangerous.
One of the problem is money. To
fight crime a city needs police officers, cars and gun. These are cost by a lot
of money. But right now cities do not have much extra money. So, there are not
enough police officer, cars and guns for the cities.
Another problem is drugs. Crime studies show that many criminals use and
sell drugs. After they start taking drugs, they want to have more. However,
drugs are very expensive. So, these people may sell to other people to make
money or they may steal money to get more drugs.
There is an even more important
cause of crime. Cities have rich and poor neighborhoods. In the poor,
neighborhoods, jobs are hard to find. Many young people don’t have much hope
for a better life. They only know one way to make better living for themselves.
That way to sell drugs or steal. So, some of this young people become
criminals.
It is not
going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first changes many of
the laws about drugs. We must change the way cities spend their money. Until
the crime problem will not go away and we will live in far.
