Problem of crime in modern society.

Crime is increasing in our society. We often ask ourselves "why?". There are
many reasons.
Firstly the law isnłt strict enough for criminals, so many of them arenłt
afraid of punishment. Criminals spend too little time in prison and they have
too good conditions there. In many countries, as in Poland, there isnłt death
penalty, however it would help us to stop increasing violence and crime and it
would be a warning for criminals.
Another problem is that often the homeless commit crime to go to prison
because they have food free of charge, bed, TV and other entertainments. I
think that our government should be more interested in these people and try to
help them (give them places to live, meals).
Everybody knows that many crimes are committed by teenagers. They often want
to have more friends and they decide to commit a crime to impress them. The
young also try to stay against their parents, they want to get money without
work and to be independent. TV has huge influence on their behaviour. It shows
them the world full of crime and brutal sex, without friendship, love and other
important feelings in many thrillers and crime series. It isnłt strange that
after watching a film, like "Pulp Fiction" or "Rambo", crime may seem funny to
teenagers. In cartoons there is also bad behaviour, for example a main hero of
this film beats others. In films an actor doesnłt die but in real life people
do.
Our society nowadays is divided into classes: rich, well-to-do, poor. Poor
people, who start their life in poor families or families with the problem of
alcoholism, need money and may attack rich (or well to do) people to get money.
They usually hate them, because they also would like to live in beautiful
villas and have expensive cars. It may be next cause of attacks on people.
Sects, football fans, skins are also very dangerous. Adults often donłt have
time for their children and teenagers donłt feel important and needed so they
join these groups. Then they can commit crimes with their new "friends".
We can meet robbers everywhere: on the street, in the school, in shops, in the
park. Sometimes a robber wants us to give him money but if we donłt have it he
doesnłt believe us and often we are beaten and eventually we go to hospital.
From time to time boys beat others for fun - it is one of causes of accidents.
The situation, when people have a gun illegally is also an important cause of
crime. They can often buy weapon on "black market". If criminals have guns,
they feel safe and can frighten or use them against innocent people.
Another thing is that alcohol and drugs also have big influence on crime in
our society. Often drug addicts want to have money for drugs and attack people.
many crimes are committed by drunk men or women.
In my opinion we have to try to stop increasing crime in our society. we
should devote more time to our children, we ought to help and co-operate one
another, give money for the poor, pay attention to people screaming. This is an
easy way to live better and more safely.
