The removal of

crime

from

society

is an important issue and various techniques are used to eradicate it, and

police

patrolling is a popular method among these. I believe that patrolling is an effective approach in creating fear among

criminals

, but methods

such

as engaging lawbreaker in social welfare activities as well as more availability of basic

necessities

can

also

be helpful in getting desirable results.

This

essay would discuss the effectiveness of patrolling and other measures to reduce

crime

.

First

of all, the availability of the

police

on the local streets creates a fear situation among

criminals

, as the

police

can easily catch them and punish them.

In other words

, if the

police

cars are around an incident place they can reach there faster when notified by the victim, the culprits can be caught more easily.

However

, the longer time taken by the

police

from a

police

station gives time to the

criminals

for running away. Moving ahead, authorities can

also

engage lawbreaker in social welfare programmes to positively mould their behaviour. The majority of culprits are found guilty of small crimes, who are not a direct threat to

society

. These people can be involved in social works to serve

society

,

this

can give them the opportunity to be in a good circle, they can to

the behaviour of better

members. The

criminals

almost always have people with a similar mentality around,

thus

they do not get a chance to improve themselves, but

this

method can change their perspective. Along with it, the government should

also

provide basic

necessities

to every member of

society

. The lawbreakers mainly belong to deprived sections of the

society

, who do not have enough resources or any employee to fulfil their

necessities

. These people

then

find small thefts or stealing the only option to survive, but later ,on they become an expert in these activities and turn into

criminals

.

Hence

, if everyone is provided with food and shelter, the

crime

rate would automatically reduce. In conclusion, it can be said that

police

patrolling is effective in decreasing the current criminal incidents ,

nevertheless

approaches

such

as social work and availability of

necessities

can eradicate

crime

from roots.
