Crime: A social problem


Nowadays, we are facing a lot of social problems here in México. All this problems are mostly an anwser to economic problems. The last years we’ve been living in a economic crisis, but, how does this takes us to have social problems?...This economic crisis changed the way people live. How?, a lot of people’s job were taken away, what made the family situation harder and crime, increased a lot.

I think that is normal that people who lost their jobs and are fighting to survive, attend to steal. I know, and I agree that nothing can excuse people to comete crimes, even when they are so desperate to get money somehow to buy food for his/her family. 95% of the crimes are reported, but the quantity is that big that the people in charge to take criminals off the society and put them in jail, can’t do all the job. This poverty takes society to another social problems like lack of education.

A guess we’ve all seen all the police cars going all around our city in high speed, searching for criminals and looking and fighting for a safe world. I actually can tell that my brother experienced something about this; he was walking back home from the supermarket , when a helicopter was flying above his head, he turned in a block, and the helicopter kept following him until he walked below a tree. This means that around us, we don’t know who but there are a lot of criminals, and police is searching for them in every corner of the city.
FIGHTING AGAINST CRIME.
