It is quite obvious that the rate of crimes is increasing day by day in all societies in the world, but I personally do believe that there is a lot that 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.
The everincreasing number of crime rates is alarming and a cause of concern for many, the world over.While some people demand effective measures to curb crime, others maintain that crime cannot be stopped.

there is a widespread belief among many that little can be done to contain crime. They argue that when poverty and the widening gap between the rich and the poor are prevalent in many nations,it is literally impossible to stop criminal offences.

the call to develop new strategies to prevent crime is gaining ground around the globe. One of the measures is installing surveillance cameras on every major street. This will help the police to monitor unusual activities and plan a prompt response to any negative incidents. In addition, increasing the number of police personnel would also serve the purpose.

In conclusion, pessimists maintain that crime cannot be controlled as long as poverty is prevalent.However, I believe that crime can be limited with the aid of strict surveillance and an increase in police scrutiny of the localities with additional deployment of forces. It is hoped that one day the world will become crime free and everyone will live without fear, though it seems very much like an utopian dream.
