Many people are too scared to leave their home because of a fear of crime. Some people think that more should be done to prevent crime, whereas others feel that nothing can be done. What are your views?

In today's world, the

crime

rate has increased to an alarming level. People are afraid of leaving the premises of their homes to avoid being a victim of criminal activities. While some believe that proper measures should be taken to deter

such

activities; others reject

this

idea and believe that nothing can be done to prevent

crime

. I agree with the former approach of introducing adequate policies for prevention of

crime

. To start with, I believe that losing hope and doing absolutely nothing to deter

crime

and staying at home

further

encourages criminals; because of

this

submissive attitude,

law offenders

law, offenders

feel confident that they will not face any retaliation while committing

crime

and they keep indulging in their heinous acts. A solution to

this

worrying problem is to prepare general people, who are the prime victims of these acts, on how to tackle

such

situations.

This

can be achieved through self defence trainings open for the general public. These trainings can be made a mandatory part of our educational system. The same trainings can

also

be introduced in offices to ensure that maximum people participate and take advantage of

such

initiatives to address the issue at hand. I believe that introducing capital punishment, which ensures a system led by strict and transparent accountability laws

,

,

is another useful step to deter

crime

.

This

implies that once a criminal is caught, he should not only be strictly

penalized but

penalized, but

the punishment should

also

be carried out publicly to ensure that people get scared of the consequence of getting involved in a

crime

. I opine that

such

steps will help in addressing the issue of ever increasing

crime

rate. To conclude,

crime

is like a disease that can be prevented with certain precautionary measures. These include preparing the general public to handle

crime

and having strict laws to penalize the criminals. I am confident, that we as an educated nation can address

this

issue with an offensive attitude towards

crime

backed by a strict laws against the law offenders.
