In countries, crime is increasing. What are the main reasons for this? What can be done for this situation?
Over the past ten years or so, not only developing
countries
but also
developed nations have faced increasing crime
rates
in their domestic societies. Some sociologists believe that this
trend happens because of the fast-growing Internet and social media platforms. While some anti-crime
experts suggest that the rising crime
rates
come from the unbalanced social structures and unequal allocation of the wealth between the rich and the poor. This
essay will discuss the main reasons why crime
is increasing in countries
and give some solutions to tackle this
tricky situation.
On the one hand, it is generally accepted that many countries
develop their domestic industries and businesses to let their economic situations become more prosperous and wealthy. That is
to say, governments in these countries
are focused on boosting their economic growth such
as GDP and GNP. However
, most of the industries and businesses in these nations are more relying on the Internet networks and functions which gives many cyber criminals great opportunities to do something illegal such
as stealing private data and hacking online banks to threaten them to pay a huge amount of money. These cyber crimes have become popular since the mass-scale usage of the Internet.
On the other hand
, it is also
believed that the growing crime
rates
come from the unbalanced social structures and unequal allocation of the wealth between the rich and the poor. That is
, the crime
rates
may increase if the allocation of wealth in societies is unfair and unbalanced. To be more specific, the poor may be jealous of the fortunes of the rich. At the same time, governments or authorities should work hard in decreasing the fortune gaps between the poor and the rich as possible as they can. Furthermore
, they should provide more social welfare and insurance such
as national health insurance and more subsidies for the low social and economic class to assist them to live better in their countries
.
In conclusion, it can be asserted that the crime
rates
are increasing in countries
, but the governments or authorities can use some methods such
as social welfare, insurance, and subsidies to prevent and tackle the possible crimes in their countries
or nations.Submitted by jackson05234 on
