Crime is without doubt a huge problem in every country in the world. There
are certain countries， cities， towns and districts where the crime rate is
extremely high and such places are very dangerous places to be. Without doubt
these areas desperately need new government policies and a shift in actions by
the police to remedy a desperate situation. These places tend to be areas of
high unemployment and poverty. If the focus were placed on finding and creating
jobs in these places the crime problem would improve. Instead governments go for
easy options such as increasing the lengths of prison sentences. This treats the
results of crime， not it's causes.
Nevertheless， such places are few and far between. The vast majority of
places in the world are perfectly safe places to live. People who are afraid to
leave their homes do so largely for two reasons. Firstly， they were unfortunate
enough to be victim of a crime. Secondly， and most importantly， they hear about
crime everywhere： TV， radio， papers. In some areas crime stories take up a huge
percentage of news. If you hear about crime all the time， you begin to believe
its everywhere. This is simply not the case.
Crime has been around since man first appeared on earth and will continue
to be here till we leave. Of course there are measures governments could take to
improve the situation but they can't eradicate crime. What measures should be
taken depend on ones political opinions.
