Crime in Cities
Crime is a serious problem in big cities and it is getting worse every year. This is what police departments
around the country said in their reports last week. The subways and the streets are more dangerous. You may not
even be safe in your own home.
Why is the problem so serious now? This is not an easy question to answer. There may not be a single
answer. Many problems together seem to make cities so dangerous.
One of the problems is money. To fight crime a city needs police officers, cars, and guns. These cost a lot
of money. But right now cities do not have much extra money. So, there are not enough police officers, cars and
guns for the cities.
Another problem is drugs. Crime studies show that many criminals use and sell drugs. After they start
taking drugs, they want to have more. However, drugs are very expensive. So, these people may sell drugs to other
people to make money or they may steal money to get more drugs.
There is an even more important cause of crime. Critics have rich and poor neighborhoods. In the poor
neighborhoods, jobs are hard to find. Many young people don’t have much hope for a better life. They only know
one way to make a better living, that way is to sell drugs or steal. So, some of these young people become criminals.
It is not going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first change many of the laws about
drugs. We must change the way cities spend their money. Until then, the crime problem will not go away and we
will live our live in fear.
