Each year, the crime rate increases. What are the causes of crime and what could be done to prevent this rise in criminal activity?

Every year an increasing

crime

incidence is being evident.

This

essay will discuss two root causes for

this

which are shortage of jobs available and

drug

addiction and suggest measures to address these issues

such

as providing more jobs for people and legislations against narcotic intake.

To begin

with, offences are usually committed by people who have no decent job or are under the influence of narcotics.

This

is because these people are likely to experience a shortage of money and to be pushed to get it by illegal activities.

Also

, they might abuse drugs which may increase the possibility of breaking the law.

For instance

, a single mother with seven children cannot provide financing for education for every child and, as a consequence, they cannot find a high-paying job and may commit an offence.

Thus

, lack of jobs among

such

people and higher possibility of narcotic consuming might lead to increased

crime

rates.

Nevertheless

, the solutions for

this

could be allocated jobs for

such

people and laws against

drug

intake. If a person with no education has a stable job with means for living, it would decrease the likelihood of him breaking the law.

Additionally

, adopting effective legislations against

drug

distribution might prevent these people to commit a

drug

-induced

crime

. To illustrate, policies of providing jobs have been implemented in many cities in the USA which has led to reduction of illegal activities.

Therefore

, these solutions could contribute to one's social mobility and cut down

drug

addiction. To conclude, two main reasons for increasing

crime

rates are lack of stable jobs and high addiction to drugs among lower social strata.

Although

, it might be tackled by allocating jobs for these people and enforcing laws against

drug

abuse.
