Question

What do you think the role of the community is in reducing crime? why do you think communities do not take proactive steps to limit crime and how could they be encouraged to do so?

Answer 1

I am a great believer in the major role that a community can play in reducing crime.

By accompanying its members, listening, and setting an example on a daily basis, it has the power to defuse frustration, give hope and a future to young people.

On the other hand, I understand that this is not easy to put in place because it takes time and means, which unfortunately they do not always, if ever, have at their disposal.

Answer 2

1. I believe the role of community in reducing crime is not to actively catch the criminals, but through the act of helping those in need within their community.
When members of the community help each other, people wouldn't be in a situation where they struggle to find food.
This alone will dramatically reduce the number of crimes.

2. I believe it's because there is nobody that dare to say and ackonwledge their community has a problem because of the fear of being judged.
Somebody need to step up and openly say that members of community that conducted the criminal acts must be shamed and encourage those who don't to work together and develop their own economy.
