Crime appears to be rising in most countries in the world, especially among young people. Identify the possible causes of this trend, and propose some solutions you think would be effective.

It seems to be the case that the

world

is seeing a rise in criminal activity, especially among the youth.

This

phenomenon appears to stem from two factors, and a number of solutions appear to be possible. The

first

underlying cause seems to be an

increase

in the proportion of income that a significant percentage of the population has to spend for sustenance. There are two major driving forces behind

this

issue - inflation, which results in an

increase

in the price of basic necessities

such

as food, rent, clothing, and so on, and stagnation of wages, which, according to statistics published by governments around the

world

, has been going on in most

countries

for several years.

For instance

, the correlation between said phenomenon and increased crime can be seen in California. The

second

factor appears to be an increased presence of multiple cultures in many nations, which is the result of an overwhelming

increase

in the migration of refugees and asylum seekers from regions of the

world

, which were made unlivable by wars and political instabilities. It has been demonstrated that

this

tends to result in an

increase

in the crime rate.

For example

, cases of violent crime in Germany increased by 235% a few months after the entrance of 2 million refugees into Germany. Turning to possible solutions, a price cap on essential goods and services, introduced by governments, looks to be the most straightforward answer,

although

state-owned enterprises directly handling production and distribution might not only deal with the issue at hand

but

prevent it from occurring again. Perhaps the

next

remedy is for the more affluent and influential

countries

of the

world

to leverage their political and economic power to

first

encourage diplomatic talks between the various parties in war-torn

countries

, as well as to promise investments, loans, and aid, after said

countries

have recovered from conflict, to help rebuild their societies. In conclusion, the factors of an increased proportion of wages being spent to cover living costs and an

increase

in multiculturalism appear to be the root causes. Economic and political interventions by governments around the globe
