Firstly

, strict rules and regulations must be implemented by the government. Penalizing culprits SHOULD BE THE immediate step to discourage others to commit crimes,

in addition

, monitoring by cameras could be planned.

, the government must provide golden opportunities to earn LIVING or, if, they are homeless financial aid must be sponsored. To conclude, IN MY OPINION, PERILIOUS OUTCOME OF INCREASING
