CRIME IN THE MEDIA
READING
1 You are going to read an article about crime. Seven sentences have
been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one
which fits each gap 1-6. There is one extra sentence which you do not need
to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
CRIME
Although I am a police officer, I certainly don’t believe that crime control is entirely
the responsibility of the police force. I am convinced that prevention is the key to
success and that all of us must work together to prevent crime. Not giving
criminals the opportunity is the first step. Make your homes burglar-proof by
always locking up, installing an alarm system and putting identification numbers
on your valuable items.

The more unattractive you make your home to burglars, the less likely it is that a
crime will take place. The police are here to help you, but have to help us as well.
As a parent, I believe that young people are the key to crime prevention.
Television and films make crime look exciting and romantic, and even modern
music glamorizes crime.

The only way to flight these influence is through education. We must teach young
people – both in school and at home – what the realities of a life of crime are, and
how becoming involved in crime can ruin a young person’s life. We must also
show them by our own behaviour that crime is wrong. A parent who cheats on his
or her taxes, for example, cannot expect a child to see criminal activity as
something to be avoided.
I know that a lot of the young people in our area are becoming involved in crime,
and that a lot of people blame television, the influence of parents and so on. But if
you look at the statistics, you will find that most of these young criminals are
school-leavers who cannot find jobs.

But it is exactly this opportunity which is lacking. If the leaders of our country
would spend more money on developing job-training and job-placement
programmers for our young people, I believe that crime would decrease
dramatically. Of course, education plays a role as well, but I do believe that if
young people had a proper occupation they would not be attracted to a life of
crime.
