Possible ways to stop crime.

[Yablee0]

The increase of crime has become the order of the day, citizens no longer has peace of mind, harm robbering, kidnapping, fraud and many more has become a dayly routine.

People are no longer scared of the penalty if been caught involved in crime.
This has given me so much concern and worries about it all. However, there could be a remedy or possible ways in which the rate of crime can be reduced or perhaps stopped completely in our society.

Your suggestions and view on this matter can be a savior to our society, thank you.

possible way of stopping crime? that is not even realistic on its own. crime has been right from time and as long as human reaction to things differs and the gap between the poor and the rich is the way it is, people will always resort to committing crime as either an exit from poverty or a way of punishing those that have gotten access to the major resources the populace are supposed to be entitled to.

if you are considering things that can help reduce crime, then we can list a handful of the like.
1.  improving on our security architecture. no criminal wants to be court and none of them wants to operate in zones where the chances of being caught is high, if the government can tighten on security systems and ensure that any criminal that is caught is punished publicly so others can see their potential end if they follow that part, it will discourage others from going into criminal minded activity.
2. creating jobs for youth and doing proper sensitization on the need to distance oneself from criminal gang.
3. refusing to be used by politician who have become the major sponsors of most criminals we have in the society.
4. and refusing to be a criminal yourself because you are part of the society and might even be a criminal in certain context.

There's no way to stop crime, the only possible way is if there's no human creature live in this world, the world will be better and crime will never happen.

It's not always about poor and rich, if everyone have the same financial, there will be a crime too, which is rape. Rape will always exist regardless your gender, your financial status, your face etc, even men mostly cheat with women who look uglier than their own partners.

Make everything legal. Result: no more crimes. Problem solved.

But in reality, when you strip away support nets and possibility to provide, there are only so many options left. And if on top of that wealth inequality rises, attitudes towards criminal way of life starts to change.

That road, while might be beneficial, is dangerously volatile. It soon stops being about just providing your family with criminal actions. It will becomes a job like any other job, and some of these jobs grow to enterprises. And morals people might have at the start, might blur very soon, as it's often more profitable when you don't have morals. Just like with other legit jobs.

To fight crime successfully, we need transparency, accountability, regulations. Ironically not many of these are beneficial to some business men, so they are often are lobbing against such things. And while doing that, contributing to growing crime stats.

You could take a look on strategies being used in countries like El Salvador, in which there have been many government led crack downs against organized crime and gangs. It is about being tough on crime and at the same time creating opportunities for the youth to thrive in their own societies without having to resort to breaking the law.
Those are the kinda of attitudes which are being taken by the government of El Salvador and since they decided to go against gangs in a very aggressive way, crime rate in El Salvador has significantly decreased, hence the big popularity of Bukele among the people of his country, he does not want to walk around the streets of his country surrounded by bodyguards, he wants the streets to be free from violence.

First there must be a willingness by the government to combat and reduce crime. In my country some conflict and other criminal activities are sponsored by people in the government. Some of these politicians make money from security budget.

Second, law enforcement agencies like the police should have access to modern technology that would help them in tackling criminal activities. Staff of these agencies should be well trained, highly remuneration and posses high level of intergrity.

I have also observed that one of the reason why some developed nations have succeeded in reducing crime is surveillance. Almost all the streets have CCTV cameras which will aid the identification of suspects.

The willingness of government to spread their wins is the start of reduction of corruption because every country is too wild for the federal government to cover, so with the extension of helping hands by bringing the tools people who will fight them will use because the police force cannot do it alone, so they will also need to form a group from the locals maybe in a form of vigilante because those people can go were police may not be willing to go, though technology is very important because with enough of it they would be traveling even inside the forest to fish out the hoodlums and also providing the military force their position and how they would counter their attack against them.

Your point is true. A government that operates a centralized police structure always have problems. Policing should be decentralized because locals have better knowledge of their terrain than any alien. The is a need to have state and even local government security systems.

Local vigilante is not a bad idea especially if it is under the control of the government. Their activities should be monitored because in most cases they tend to misuse their power. Some of them because tools in the hands of greedy politicians and they also engage in extra-judicial killings.

By creating religious values, people can develop the right understanding. If you can educate children in religious education from an early age it will be easier for them to differentiate between good and bad deeds and the best medium for this is the family or school. Family breakdown throughout the world leads to social degradation and gradually crime spreads like cancer at the state level.

Prevention is more valuable than cure.

The best way to stop crime is to stop committing crimes yourselves. By the way that most of you act around here, I suspect that quite a few of you chlurcmklets are criminals.

The only way to slow crime down is for people to hear and understand, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified for your sins so that you can have eternal life." Then, direct the listeners towards the Bible New Testament so they can read and come to believe in Jesus, and start to do what Jesus asks them to do.

Coordination with the government is going to help these crimes reduce. Since they are the ones that are protecting people and trying to maintain peace and order. Without their presence and initiative, people will look at it that they're being respected. But if an area is becoming lawless, then that's it. There's no peace and order and the government doesn't really care at all and people will look at it as they're forgotten and so, they will just do things that they think is fine to do since there is no law enforcement. So, coordination and implementing government rules and policies will help but for some extreme areas, it's all about the people.

What you said is very helpful to reduce crime but it's mainly in theory because I've seen countless preachers of Jesus Christ, who scam people with fake miracles and prosperity gospel to steal from them. You don't need to become a Christian to avoid crime, it has to be a personal decision whether you're a religious person or not. Every religion that I know teaches against crime but in reality crime keeps increasing everyday so it shows that it can't be totally stopped by any means.

Crimes can however be minimized in any society where there is prosperity and proactive leaders with empathy for the needs of the ordinary citizens. Except for some individuals who have criminality in their DNA and those that are lazy to do legitimate work, most people go into crime due to lack and frustrations, if there's a better option for them to prosper they wouldn't go into crime.

Dr. Joseph, we have had different views on many issues, but I totally agree with your solution. The change we want in our society should start with us. We have to stop committing crimes and also assist law enforcement agents in performing their tasks. We should give them vital information about our observations or experiences to help them tackle crime.

This is a public forum, which means anybody could join. Indeed, some people with negative intentions might also be here. But we have lots of trusted members that have proved that they are not criminals.   

[Felicity_Tide]

I don't think there is any remedy to stopping or eradicating crimes in our society.
There will definitely be some bad eggs among us even if everything in the world is made free to all. One of the solution I can probably suggest needs to come/start with us as individuals. Just like you @OP, you've been able to identify that crimes like these needs to be stopped, which is definitely a change from your part as a human, and the only way to help the society is to get something doing to also help yourself. If you have a job doing, you won't think of stealing from someone across the street. This also applies to everyone, so number one solution must come from us as individuals, because we all make up the society.

And the other solution must come from the government. Truth is, if the government is actually sincere, and puts the right things in place for the citizens, life would be a bit better for those working, which will definitely reduce crime rates. But as it stands,.we don't see much these days, which has also contributed to the hardship some working class are facing. But that should never be an excuse because the government started failing the people very long time ago.

Now the war in Ukraine will end and there will be many criminals with PTSD syndrome.

[Frankolala]

Crime is part of human nature, and human wants cannot be satisfied. This was why we have the law and law enforcement agencies to reduce. Crime can only be reduced in a place where there is very little corruption, and love for one another is taken as priority. Bad leaders increases the rate of poverty and corruption in a country, and in such country, there will be high rate of crime.

[Marykeller]

First there must be a willingness by the government to combat and reduce crime. In my country some conflict and other criminal activities are sponsored by people in the government. Some of these politicians make money from security budget.

Money being made from the security budget by this politician makes it difficult for crime to be minimized in a country because they now see it as, if crimes are minimized, there won't be much security budget mapped out by the government again. That has closed the other side of their business. To make their find business continue, they have to instigate crime in the country, in different ways like kidnapping, killing, armed robbery, etc

I have also observed that one of the reason why some developed nations have succeeded in reducing crime is surveillance. Almost all the streets have CCTV cameras which will aid the identification of suspects.

Mounting of CCTV cameras on the streets has helped in combating crime rates in the city because no one wants to commit a crime and be identified immediately. It doesn't make sense that way. Staying out of crime is better than thinking of committing a crime, that your identity is disclosed for authorities to be in pursuit of you.

Identity to be disclosed is the main reason why we have less crime happening in developed nations than in undeveloped nations.

Op from your narration you did not give a specific country or where this particular crime is happening, so I'm left to think that whatever that is happening is happening in your own country.

However in every society, there always a way to fight crime, the crime that is difficult to fight, is organized crime, which always involved those in authority in connivance with a group of few persons. But for the kind of crime and criminality you're talking about, is basically about Street gangsterism, and over the years, we've studied that most of this persons who commit this crimes are young people that are vibrant who don't have any job doing,
So in helping to fight crime, one of the basic things that government do is to look for a way to bring those young ones out of the street, and make them gainfully employed so they could have less distraction, because hence they are gainfully employed, they start breeding their own family, thereby making them to be focus on their jobs and providing for their family because thats the number one responsibility they have at hand. So the government and civil society has a responsibility of engaging the young ones by pulling them out of the street using various methods.

In order to stop crime, there are two things the state needs to do and they can overcome the growing number of crimes in a very effective way. We need to determine the root cause as why the crime occurs and how to prevent it from happening. Here are the two most important things.

1) Give more and equal opportunity to the people to grow and prosper in life. Once people have legal source of income, they won't go for the wrong way to gain money or involve in crimes.

2) Those who commit crimes, needs to give a strict punishment. Once we give punishments, other people will have fear and they will think twice before committing crimes.
