With stories of violent crime hitting the headlines, it sometimes seems that we live
in a very dangerous world. However, while such crimes do occur on occasion, I believe
that society is doing enough to keep its citizens safe.
Prevention is better than cure and so it makes sense to start with education. Young
people are taught the difference between right and wrong at school, and most of them
grow up with a respect for law and order.
Crime is often glamorized on TV, but there are also books and TV programs that
inform the public about the harsh conditions in prisons and how much the victims of
crime suffer, both physically and emotionally. These must surely deter some people
who would otherwise have become involved in criminal activities.
Finally, although some people argue that surveillance cameras invade our privacy,
that is a small price to pay for the role they play in protecting us. Cameras stop many
people from committing violent crimes. Even when such crimes do occur, the cameras
can be used to help the authorities catch the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Violent crime will not disappear completely, but if we all work together, we can
ensure that we live in a safe society, now and in the future.
