In some countries, even though the rates of serious crimes are decreasing, people feel less safe than ever before. What do you think are the causes of this problem and what measures could be taken to solve it?

In some nations, in spite of a decline in the number of severe offences, the citizens feel more threatened as compared to the past. The primary cause of

this

phenomenon is the

chance

of re-offence by the ex-convicts and most viable solution is a public awareness campaign to deter

this

problem. The major cause of

this

threat is the probability of re-

offence

Suggestion

offending

offend

by the criminals because

society

refuses to accept them and

this

rejection is due to the stigma associated with these ex-prisoners.

Moreover

, due to their criminal record, they fail to get secure a better place neither at work nor in

society

.

As a result

, it is more likely that they returned back to their criminal world due to peer pressure and their families.

For example

, a research report published in the Daily times states that due to unemployment among many offenders after leaving the prison

chance

of re-offence inclined to 60%. A long term solution to

this

predicament is the government should launch a publicity campaign in the media and in schools to educate people to consider them like the way were before committing the crime. Those who have completed their detention time and became a good member of

society

, people should accept them and give them all the rights to live in

society

. An awareness campaign could shed some light on

this

difficult situation and allow people to be more open and honest about it.

For instance

, a similar initiative in Japan resulted in a 40% decrease in crime and

chance

of re

offence

Suggestion

offending

. In conclusion, the

chance

of committing a

further

crime by the delinquents is a major issue that results in people living with great fear;

however

, it can be addressed through educating people to give them a

second

chance

.
