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?

Surge in

crime rate

Suggestion

the crime rate

has become a menace to the modern society. Some believe that

further

measures should be taken to reduce the

crime

, while others think nothing can salvage the situation.

This

essay will discuss both points of view, and I shall argue that more should be done for

crime

prevention. On one hand, it is believed that nothing can be done for controlling the

crime

.

First

of all the criminals continuously evolve their methods. As law enforcement agencies develop new techniques to control the criminals, they find novel ways to carry out hideous acts.

For example

, once the police made it difficult for the criminals to carry out bank robberies, they ventured into cyber crimes.

This

way the

crime

continues to exist in different forms.

Moreover

, in the presence of the rising population and a widening wealth gap, the general level of dissatisfaction in the society rises.

This

provides the perfect breeding ground for the

crime

.

On the other hand

, I would argue that a lot more can be done for the

crime

prevention.

First

, the adoption of modern technology can be useful. Nowadays, there are several inventions at our disposal which can be helpful. Police can avail of smaller sized listening devices, cameras, and drones for

this

purpose.

For instance

entire Islamabad has been transformed into a safe city by installation of CCTV cameras covering every inch of the metropolitan.

This

has helped reduce the

crime

rate because of continuous surveillance.

Second number

Suggestion

A second number

The second number

of police officers should be increased, so that there are enough law enforcement personnel for the population.

Finally

better and modern equipment including weapons should be provided to the protectors of the society so that a general deterrence of the law can be maintained. In conclusion, it is evident that with the help of modern technology better equipment, and sufficient police force more can be done for the prevention of criminal offences. The government should take active responsibility for the protection of the community.
