    In my opinion crime cannot be totally stopped but can be reduced. I believe if the root of crime is tackled crime could be reduced greatly.
    Mainly crime is caused by unemployment, poverty, drug abuse,peer pressure, dysfunctional family units just to mention a few. If the government created more jobs for the youth and also create self empowerment programmes. If the unemployed youth are empowered on how to create their own businesses and given the resources to start it would cut down the numbers of jobless youth,I don't see sense in empowering them yet they don't have capital to start. With people earning a decent income poverty is eliminated.
    There is also issue with families if a child is raised in a dysfunctional or even abusive family that child doesn't know how to live a decent life or he/she knows only violence,I believe when raising a child he/she should be taught nothing comes easy if he/she wants to succeed in life he/she needs to work hard. Also in schools and homes kids should be guided on how to deal with their problems and fears,parents should also be best friends to their child so that it can be easy to confide in them rather than their peers and it be hard for them to fall onto peer pressure or engage in substance abuse which are major causes of crime.
    I also think if criminals when are in prison they should be enrolled in technical courses or whatever course they would like to do and once they are released the government or the community help them secure a job are set up their own business and I think these would be effective if the prisoners are enrolled in reforming initiatives for them to be able to stand on their own and also Change their behaviors after release.
    What if communities started their own initiatives to carb crime amongst themselves and working with the authority and put different measures which apply in their community with help of the authorities, I believe these would help a lot.

    Crime stop? Well, its so impossible!
    Causes of crimes: Hunger, poverty, ghetto living, drugs, anger, jealousy, hate, fear-any ir several if these.

    Crime the thing we all want to do something about-means, to the average citizen, familiar kinds of violent lawbreaking, like killing and raping and bank robbing. But each of these categories has many complexities. Bank robbing often means guns and masks and "stick 'em up" a loot sack, a waiting car, a chase and great excitement. That's crime! But the crime of bank robbing is more frequently a quiet, long-undetected inside job--a covered-up affair.

    The greatest single cause of crime is the machinery that we have developed in "civilized society" to "control" it.

    YES! Crime can and will be stopped when every single human BE-ing on this earth learns to have respect, compassion, integrity, peace, love and joy for one themselves, their lives and one another. We need to choose an agreed upon time, stop everything we're doing, hold hands and begin to sway and sing....The World Anthem....We are the World...We are the Children....etc... ;) (Thanks Michael Jackson)
    we are the world.jpg
    Listen and Watch the video here:

    So my theory is YES, it's possible for crime to be stopped. o_O:D:)

    How likely....ummmmmmm... lol. But hey, let's be optimistic for a moment. :eek:

    Yes and No,the root cause of crime is basically,corruption,inequality,ignorance,poverty & other external factors. These factors forces people to seek their ways to earn a decent life,through the only easy option available. Crime can only be stopped in our country by streamlining our society by fixing our countrys broken system. Fixing the root causes rather than treating the symptoms.
    On other hands,its difficult to say that a country can eliminate 100% crime. In every gathering there is always someone taking shortcuts or taking advantage of the process. The few that chooses to do so,rot the family & society at large.

    Personally crime can only be kept incheck by law authorities but can't be eliminated.

    Crime can't be stop but it can be lessen. If the government and people work very hard to lessen it. It can be lessen if majority of people had a stable work. Lack of money can be one reason of committing crime. If a person has a stable job and been busy everyday, he has a lot time at work and earn money as well. The next thing that the government can do for the people is to provide a good physical and mental health for all. If you are healthy body and mind, you can avoid evil doing.

    Crime can never be stopped 100% but it can be reduced drastically to the barest minimum, one of the reasons alot of people commit crime is because they feel they can get away with it, any country that its security measure for safety of life and belongings is well in order will certainly reduce crime alot, when people think about the consequence of their actions and how the law will deal with them, they sure will have a rethink. Secondly, i think one other thing that increases crime rate is high level of poverty in some countries, if people are gainfully employed with a good take home, many people who get involved in crime would certainly not.

    Agreed. Crime has been around since Cain killed his brother Abel. The root of crime is human imperfection.

    The laws of God and the laws of man cannot stop crime. People will steal to feed the ones that they love. People will rape to satisfy their urges. As long as humans feel emotions, crime will continue to exist.

    Even with crime, Earth is still a good place to live though.

    Crime has been in existence since time immemorial, going from the slave trade, wars, drugs, suicides missions were all made to destroy life and halt the peace of humanity, therefore, could be tagged or known as "the crime against humanity". Countries and world leaders budget and invest millions of dollars yearly in crime fighting. instead, crime tends to increase and the perpetrators are becoming more equipped adopting more diplomatic ways of carrying out their deeds.

    Having known these, it is quite obvious that crime cannot be stopped rather it could be minimized, in trying to minimize crime anywhere, in international, national or local level, those in charge should employ transparency without bias and sentiment in fighting crimes be it terrorist crime, political, war crime or drug crime etc . Fighting crime with sentiment and selfishness will not only give birth to another crime but, it deteriorates to more advanced and dangerous crime as can be seen in the world today.
    Moreover stopping crime in a country like mine ( Nigeria) where corruption and nepotism has eaten into the marrows of those that are meant to fight the crime is a waste of time and resources, why would crime be stoped in a country where majority of the society is living below poverty line while few individuals pockets about 80% of the annual budget, crime can only be reduced when the youths are engaged and busy with responsible job.`

    Crime can be stopped.I am so sure on that. It is a matter of wanting crime to stop. It's a matter of choice. Nature has not created crime. The humans have created this. If all humans come together and stop crime, we will have a better world to live in. But the humans do not agree on stopping crime. They are jealous of each other in wanting more and more. Don't blame nature.

    Is there a solution to crime? No one really knows. However, there are some regulations that can, slowly, decrease it.

    This may sound really pessimistic, but there's no way crime can be stopped. If you have religious beliefs, look no further than the Bible to prove that criminal behavior has been here since man was placed on the earth. When Cain became jealous of his brother Abel, Cain decided to kill him and so it was that the first murder took place.

    Regardless of religious beliefs, or lack of, as long as man has free will, there will always be those individuals who choose to do what is wrong rather than choose the right. More government intervention, more police and more community involvement won't do a thing until people choose to do what's right based on their conscience.

    Need proof? Look at a city like Chicago in the United States. Crime runs rampant despite strict gun control laws, community activists and police presence. Despite all these attempts to clean up the city, crime is everywhere.

    As in “zero" crime? I don't think so. It is impossible. Even though the government have tried so hard to implement laws supposed to deter crimes, still certain individuals continue to commit it ,whether they have chosen to do it on their own will, or had done it unintentionally. Factors such as environment where people had lived and grown, family upbringing, and treatment of society plays an important part what an individual can become. If people could only live with each other harmoniously, I think crime would be lessened. But, we all are living in an imperfect world. For all we know, this world we live in isn't at all flawless. Dealing with crime problem is a very complicated thing and it has many root causes .Poverty, lack of education, unemployment, drugs, just to name a few. Fortunately, although crime can't be stopped, it can be mitigated. Public officials must never cease finding new and effective solutions on how to make citizens understand that doing crimes or unlawful acts will not be tolerated and the long arms of the law will definitely catch up with them. Make residents feel reluctant before they can even think of doing a crime. At least this way, people will have a sense of idea that they should not do things they will going to regret.

    Crime can only be stopped if the change starts at individual level. One mind is able to cause crime in the entire nation. we must be able to change our own selves first before we expect the world around as to get better because only if we are good can we influence everyone around us.

    No, it will not. As long as there are politicians, church and some government department like the commission on human rights who protecting all the drug lords and drug addicts in our country this crime will never stopped. The amount of money from the drug lords coming from their illegal activities are enough to pay all of these group specially the church and the commission on human rights to protect them. All the crimes in our country are all related to illegal drugs, they are all under the influence of drugs when they did the crimes, and the funny thing about this one is, this religious group and some politicians are coming from same political party and want to legalize the use of illegal drugs in our country. If the person is just a user or simple addict they are free from the law, that's how they wanted to solve the crimes in our country.

    The world is not perfect. We have crime on criminal platforms, and we have crime on legal platforms, administered through various interpretations of what is considered as being righteous, and what is considered as being an injustice. Since we all do not share the same thoughts, what is socially right will always vary among individuals. Unfortunately, crime is seen as a solution to some people, and this along with the world not being perfect makes crime a natural aspect of our humanistic life. Crime cannot be based on nationality. It lies much deeper in human characteristics.

    Honestly, I don't think we can stop crime from happening to any countries. But we can always lessen the crime rate. I think we should just accept the fact we are living in a world where crime is everywhere and crime is in any form whether it is small or big, that is why we are being reminded to take some precautionary measures to prevent unwanted crimes to happen. In my country, we are used to have high rate of crimes every year but thanks to our President that crime is his top priority to lessen as much as he can. As a citizen, we are already fed up from the fear of being included to the statistics of victims of crime doers so it is really a big help for us to have a great leader to make our country a peaceful place and has low crime rate. I always believe crime will never be done to any part of our country specially for small crime cases no matter how hard we try to stop it. And as a human being, we should always follow the law and respect our fellow human beings.

    If we elect leaders that are criminals how do we expect crime to stop. Citizens are ignorant of their responsibility to stop crime. We should start selecting leaders who are worth selecting. High level of crime is also as a result of unemployment. Job opportunities need to be created to yield productivity. Crime will only reduce when people are busy and productive in the society.
