Some countries are struggling with an increase rate in crime. Many people think that increasing police on the roads is the only way to reduce crime. To what extent do you agree ?

Many people argue that in order to mitigate criminal

activities

, a large number of police officers should be deployed on the streets. I strongly disagree with

this

and believe that there are different areas where they are required and criminal

activities

are not just undertaken on roads. To start with, a large number of

security

officers would need to be employed.

As a consequence

, the state might have to suffer economically.

Furthermore

, the

security

department will have to compensate for other official tasks.

This

will hamper the efficiency of the department in its

overall

job implementation.

For example

,

due to

a surge in harmful

activities

in Mumbai, a city in India, a mass of

security

officers were deployed from within and out of the state.

This

caused severe monetary loss and citizens of other states questioned their productivity in their required areas.

Hence

, gathering

security

for every nook and corner can deviate the attention from their broadly required responsibilities.

Secondly

, roads are not solely responsible for unethical behaviour. These can take place in underground subways, buildings, parks etc.

Although

safeguarding cannot be present everywhere, society can be made aware of strict legal penalties and penalisation.

This

would make the criminals conscious of the result of any type of inappropriate actions.

For instance

, after the declaration of the death sentence to

rapists, the rape rates in India witnessed a downward trend.

Therefore

, governmental intervention with regard to the implementation of regulations should be introduced.

To conclude

, there are various ways to eliminate the risks of harmful

activities

. These strategies should be used than rising patrol in the states.
