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.
