Since it’s pretty evident that the government is not going to put more money into
crime prevention, it seems obvious that inhabitants are going to have to do
something themselves. Improving the organization of the Neighbourhood Watch
programme would be a good place to start. Cars have been broken into right in
front of houses where people were supposed to be on duty. This obviously
shouldn't be happening.

Not that I'm suggesting we arm ourselves - more guns lead to more violence in
my view - but we do need to be more aware and have a systematic approach to
crime prevention if we want to reduce the crime rate.
People keep saying that crime is our responsibility - that if we protect our houses
and teach our children properly we can solve the problem.

There obviously aren't enough police to prevent all the crimes that are going on -
and of course we'd better off if there were more of them - but why are so many
known criminals out there committing crimes in the first place? If they were kept
locked up longer and given longer prison sentences in the first place, this city
would be a much safer place to live. I don't support the return of the death
penalty, but I do believe that criminals should be punished severely and not just
set free to continue committing crimes.

(First Certificate for the revised exam)
A What we need is proper training so that we can police our own neighbourhood.
B Of course, I realise that prisons are already overcrowded and expensive to run,
but surely it's a false economy to release prisoners who are obviously not ready or
willing to obey the law because more crime will be expensive for the taxpayer too.
C Of course, we can’t control everything our children watch or listen to – it would
just make them more rebellious if we tried to.
D Of course, the first step towards preventing crime is understanding its nature.
E But what about the criminals who are already out there?
F Make sure your garden and drive are lit up at night, and report any suspicious
behaviour immediately.
G These are young people who are more than willing to lead decent, productive
lives given the opportunity.
