is one of the vigorously discussed issues in many

countries

. When it comes to the responsibility for

crime

prevention, a segment of society is convinced that

individuals

should protect themselves. Others,

however

, believe that the government should be largely responsible. I agree with the latter view because only severe punishments and the prevalence of law can effectively tackle

issue. The following paragraphs will discuss both opinions and explain my view in detail. To commence, police cannot control everything and everyone,

therefore

individuals

should take preventive measures to ensure their safety.

For instance

awareness can effectively prevent many grievous consequences.

However

do not have any fear, they can simply break locks and commit crimes.

Hence

, governments should implement severe punishments and control that laws are upheld.

As a result

can deter potential

from breaking laws. Take,

rate in Middle East

is very low because they have strict laws and punishments for each type of

. Which unfortunately gives more freedom for

criminals

. To conclude,

although

individuals

should take basic preventive measures to ensure their safety, I believe that the government should play a key role in combating the

should put their best feet together to address
