Some countries are struggling with increases in crime rates. Some believe that having more police on the streets is best way to reduce and combat crime. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Societies are grappling with the rise in

crime

, and

thus

many suggest that an increase in

police

patrols on the

streets

can tackle

this

problem. In

this

essay, I will argue that having more

police

force available on the street is not the answer to the issue of the rise in

crime

rates as any progress

it is far more expensive compared with other methods. One reason for my disagreement with putting numerous

police

officers on the

streets

to monitor and prevent the occurrence of

crime

is that unless the underlying reasons for criminality

such

as poverty and lack of education among the unfortunate were to be studied and properly resolved, rushing to react to the surge in the

crime

rates by flowing

police

force to the

streets

would have temporary results at best. New York City in the 1990s,

for instance

, experienced

this

particular phenomenon as the mayor tried to lower

Hence

, pouring

streets

if not accompanied by extensive measures to eradicate the root cause, could not lead to success.

Moreover

, These types of solutions provided to combat

crime

are extremely expensive.

This

is because running the program requires a significant

members and a vast amount of budget.

As a consequence

, it could rarely continue for a long period.

For example

,

last

year's figures show that most of the budgets spent in the homeland security ministry were designated for hiring and these types of patrols to keep the city

-free. The longer authorities attempt to implement these plans of putting officers on the

streets

, the more they have to spend for hiring and running it. In conclusion, I would argue that having more

police

on the street is not the best measure to tackle the problem of rise in the

crime

rates on the grounds that the results neither would be satisfactory nor cheap.
