In many countries the amount of crime is increasing. What do you think are the main causes of the crime? How can we deal with those causes?

The rate of crimes in several nations is on the rise.

This

essay will state the major causes of illegal acts and give a solution to the menace caused by it. It will state that unemployment is the major culprit for increased crime rate and give a solution of providing Job opportunities and empowerment programmes.

To begin

with, the major reason why crimes seem to be on the rise is because of lack of Jobs.

As a result

of unavailability of jobs to members of the society, they have resorted to committing petty crimes

such

as stealing in

order

to survive.

For example

illegal activities increased in Malawi after the President cut the budget on Job provisions in 2018.

As a result

of

this

, youths were seen roaming the streets and extorting unsuspecting passersby of their hard earned money.

Furthermore

, a viable way to deal with

this

menace usurping the nation is the provision of more job opportunities. The

government

must ensure that more jobs are made available for different cadres of the society in

order

, to prevent them from being idle.

Also

, the

government

can provide empowerment schemes for uneducated citizens in

order

to counsel them about alternate sources of incomes asides professional jobs. I remember being without Job for 2 years but after attending an empowerment programme where we were taught different skills from makeup to hairdressing. I was able to start my own business with the grant given by the

government

after the successful completion of the course.

This

feat would not have been possible without the

government

creating alternate avenues for Job. To sum up, in

order

to ameliorate the increased crime rate the

government

has the sole responsibility of providing more jobs in

order

to take the youths off the streets.
