1. Having police officer patrolling the street is often considered as essential way to reduce crime. How effective do you think police street patrols are? What way reducing crime can you propose?

Nowadays, the public is more concerned about the

crime

rate due to the community is suffering from high inflation, a high unemployment rate and a recession might possibly occur. Considering police officers

patrol

the street often could reduce the

crime

cases. Let me illustrate my perspective in the below paragraph.

First

of all, considering more policemen

patrol

the street, which can give more confidence to dwellers or tourists. Spain and Paris are very famous tourist locations. Their authority is aware of tourism is one of the major income sources for their countries.

Therefore

, they have assigned police officers to

patrol

streets or metro areas, which can build up a positive image for tourists and society. Thefts might not be willing to take any action as tourists can report to policemen if anything happened. From my perspective, authorities should consider building certain police stations or stands in popular tourist areas or high

crime

rates areas. It can reduce the misconduct rate gradually, which will force

people

to reconsider finding a proper

job

rather than considering robbery from the streets.

Moreover

, the most effective option to reduce misconduct in society as an authority should consider providing more

job

opportunities to the public, which can make the community a stable income. During the pandemic, the workforce is struggling to maintain their living standards. Due to the

job

opportunities being limited,

people

might be forced to do illegal actions for their living. When

people

realise that they can fit into the labour market, which would give certain confidence to the workforce to re-enter the labour market

instead

of considering taking illegal action.

Additionally

, governments provide an incentive to dwellers, who need to upskill themselves in schools or training centres. Because of the high operation cost, employers prefer to hire their staff with multi-skills that can cope with the competitive markets.

People

might be forced to be unemployed, which would push them to be robbers as they cannot fit into the labour markets.

Thus

, authorities need to encourage and provide incentives to their citizens, who are unemployed for a period of time, they should go to training centres to upgrade their skills. In Canada, unemployed

people

cannot get their unemployment compensation for up to 45 weeks. Because of

this

,

people

need to consider working when the compensation has an upper limitation. In conclusion, considering having more law enforcement officers

patrol

the street is only one of the possible preliminary solutions to solve

crime

issues. Authority should investigate deeply how to reduce the

crime

percentage in the long run. Providing incentives and

job

opportunities should be considered to have long-term solutions that would be beneficial to overall society.
