Some people believe if a police force carries guns, it will encourage the level of violence in the society. To what extent you agree or disagree?

The key role of the

police

is to curb crime and reduce instances of

violence

. It is believed that the

police

equipped with weapons is likely to contribute to more

violence

.

However

, I disagree with

this

opinion as I think

this

phenomenon will alleviate

violence

in our society.

Firstly

, it will reduce lawlessness. Some people commit

crimes

because they think

police

do not have threats to them.

For example

, if

police

can carry guns, those who are on the edge of

crimes

or

violence

will consider the consequence and know

such

misbehaviours like bullying and robbery are definitely not be allowed. More importantly, they will realize it is difficult for them to commit

crimes

, which could have a deterrent effect on using

violence

and commit

crimes

, improving the safety of our society.

Therefore

,

this

could alleviate violent cases and maintain stability. Another benefit is that it is useful for the force to arrest someone who poses a series of dangers to the public. It is common to see that lots of offenders who haven’t been put into prison are one of the causes of our society’s disorder.

For instance

, If the guards could use guns when they are arresting those offenders, they can shoot those who are escaping, which will ensure the success of catching culprits, let them be punished.

As a result

, the number of people who intends to use

violence

will get arrested and be put behind the bars, contributing to a safe world. In conclusion, the

police

using weapons could curb

violence

because it could deter people from violating the law and reduce criminals escaping from the arrest.
