Some countries are struggling with an increase in the rate of crime . Many people think that having more police on streets is the only way to reduce crime. To what extent do you agree?

Crime

is prevalent in many countries, with the developing nations feeling the brunt of it. People argue that policing increased policing on the streets could curb the surge in criminal activity.

However

, I partially agree with

this

and will substantiate my reasoning in the course of

this

essay.

First

of all, let us look at the argument for policing on the street. Whilst it is necessary, we need to understand that the reason people turn to

crime

, is because of the lack of resources, fewer opportunities to get jobs, and inability to afford basic requirements.

Therefore

, the lure of instant money provided by

crime

helps to convince people to take

this

road. So, for starters, the government's should do their part and improve living conditions for their citizens and

this

may help to curtail

crime

. The advancement of technology has led to more

crime

because now criminals have adopted technology and are using it to perpetrate major crimes.

For example

, a couple of months ago, Russian cyber gangs targeted major corporations demanding $70 million in Bitcoin. Now the issue with cybercrime, is that hackers have found ingenious ways to mask their identity so as not to get caught. The only thing

that is

known after 3 months of these attacks, is that the attackers are from Russia. Who they are and their exact location remains unknown. In

this

day and age,

crime

is happening both, online and on the streets, and strict policing needs to be done on both platforms to try and stop

this

increase in

crime
