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

Many nations are witnessing a drastic rise in

crime

rates. I think

this

is attributable to multiple reasons

such

as lack of

education

, unemployment, an inefficient judicial

system

, to name a few.

This

essay will deal with reasons and find out as to how can one resolve

such

issues

Firstly

,

education

plays a crucial role in shaping an individual’s character. It is

education

that makes us capable of differentiating right and wrong early in our childhood. Lack of basic

education

is one amongst the primary causes of increasing crimes.

For example

, in my country India, a vast majority of the population is illiterate.

This

has a deleterious impact on the society as a whole because people turn to

crime

without any thought, they cannot comprehend what’s right and wrong. To deal with

this

issue, primary

education

should be made available to everyone without any fees and government should take serious measures to make

this

mandatory for everybody.

Furthermore

, the other main cause of the spike in

crime

rates is unemployment. When people cannot find work, they have all the free time in the world. They think of

crime

as a shortcut to obtaining and possessing the riches of life, without any hard work. To tackle

this

problem, authorities should focus on increasing jobs and

also

introducing some compensation to unemployed people. In lieu of

such

compensation, they should be made to do social and community work.

In addition

, an inefficient judicial

system

is equal to be blamed. Failing to punish the criminals in time is yet another reason why people are not afraid of committing

crime

. To exemplify, India reported the cruel and inhuman gang rape case a few years ago. It got global attention, there was mass protest, people demanded immediate justice. In spite of

such

a movement, it took over three years to come out with a judgement and yet the criminals have still not been executed. In

such

cases, it is the slow and laid-back judicial

system

which is responsible for many rape cases being reported every single day. I think, if the government imposes severe implications of violating laws,

crime

rates will definitely see a rapid fall. To conclude, there is an urgent need for the governments to focus on addressing illiteracy and unemployment problems, which attribute to the rise of

crime

rates. At the same time it demands for strengthening the judicial

system

so people fear the repercussions of committing a

crime

.
