The level of crime rises annually. There are a number of reasons that can explain why this is the case, but also some measures that we can take to prevent the rise.
To start, the rate of crime rises for a number of reasons. The most common one, however, is social factors. Social factors such as weak influence of the family and negative social circles contribute to the increase of crime. They usually directly impact on a person. Another reason is apparently unemployment. People who didn’t find a job most often look for illegal ways to earn money. As a result, high unemployment leads to an increase in crime.
Turning to solutions, the biggest step would be taken by the government. Setting up social programmes that would help and support families, teenagers and kids might reduce the motivation of people to commit a crime. Secondly, to decrease the rate of unemployment government plays the vital role. Investing in infrastructure more, there will be job creation. Building schools, hospitals, roads and other infrastructure objects creates many new jobs, for example.
In conclusion, social factors and high unemployment seem to be the principal reasons why the crime rate increases yearly. However, solutions should range from setting up social programmes to investing in infrastructure.
