What are the causes of crime and how could crime be reduced?

In this world, it is almost impossible if people live without rule. Rules are made to stop
anarchy and to provide order. People need to be accountable for their actions so rules
are needed. However in reality, some people still do not follow the rules or even they
dont care about the rules at all. This action of breaking rules or laws is called crime.
Nowadays, the reported cases of crime all over the world are alarmingly increasing. It is
believed that the main reason behind this is the rise in population which will lead to
unemployment. The crime can be reduced with the involvement of the government to
the society.

Firstly, I would like to state that the population of a country will be the first and foremost
reason behind this increase in crime. Take Indonesia for instance, it is a developing
country and in the prevailing scenario its population is sharply increasing, which creates
a significant number of problems. With respects to that, unemployment is the major one,
because of that, educated and sophisticated people survive without jobs and result in
indulge in the crime to bear their expenses.

To combat this grave problem, governments can arrange educational classes and
programs to increase public awareness about the adverse effects of the increase in
population. If the increase rate of population decrease, there will be less unemployment
which will of course decrease the number of crimes.

Eventually, after analyzing all the views, I would like to conclude that crime in any way is
a major problem for any country. It needs a combined effort by governments and
masses of any country to join hands together to fight against crime. Otherwise it is
expected that it could be worsen in near future.
