Some people think that the government should be responsible for crime prevention, while others believe that it is the responsibility of the individual to protect themselves. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is undeniable that these days the number of

crimes

are risen

due to

poverty and educational inequality.

While

some individuals believe that reducing

crime

is the

government

's responsibility.

Conversely

, there are those people who believe that each individual should avoid

crime

by himself/herself.

This

essay will discuss both points of view,

along with

the reason why it is both governments and individuals responsible for preventing

crime

.

To begin

with, it is understandable for some to believe that

government

should play a main role in decreasing

crimes

.

This

is probably because the main causes of

crimes

are poverty and education inequality, as it can be seen that most underdeveloped countries acquire higher

crime

rates than developed countries.

For instance

, one individual who lacks the money and knowledge to be employed has no alternatives to earn money.

As a result

, he commits a

crime

.

Therefore

, when

government

concentrates on resolving these aforementioned reasons for

crimes

, the number of criminal cases should be significantly dropped.

On the other hand

, people in society are

also

required to prevent

crime

by themselves. All adults should teach their children about the severity of the

crime

's penalties, as they will try to avoid committing a

crime

.

Moreover

, each individual should avoid performing actions which may cause a

crime

.

For example

, carrying massive of money without any covering, walking alone at night in a dangerous place. In conclusion, I strongly believe that

crime

cannot prevent by solely either the

government

or individuals as everyone should collaborate with each other.

Furthermore

, I believe that

while

the

government

focus on improving the standard of living and other issues, residents should avoid

crime

themselves as well.
