Some countries are struggling with an increase in the rate of crime. Many people believe that having more police on the streets is the only way to reduce crime To what extent do you agree?

Some countries across the globe are facing burgeoning

crime

rates in their cities. Many people believe that suitable response to tackle

this

problem is by hiring

police

personnel.

This

will bring down the

crime

rate as criminals will be deterred by more people guarding the city. I will argue in

this

essay that

this

approach is not the most effective solution in the long-term. A recent study showed that some countries with

solution, but

it is not the complete solution. As every country posses limited resources, my recommendation is

of investing money in increasing the

money in building schools, industries and providing more employment opportunities.
