     Today this blog post is going to be entirely off topic. What I would like to say for now is more along the lines of our crime rates here in America and ways we could possibly stop it. First off we have a lot of crime and it definitely needs to be stopped. Currently, crime is often higher in areas where minorities have a higher population, though I think this is because these areas are often lower income areas such as ghettos or boonies. We could possibly stop this by supplying the area with more money or finding jobs for the less fortunate there.

     As we all know, today in this age we have crime in the streets every day of our lives. Police sirens blaring, people running, shooting guns, killing people, stealing, meth labs, etc. We need to settle this because I think most people have had enough of it. Throughout my life I've met more than 20 people who have suffered somehow from the world of crime or were directly involved with it. I believe that if we were to make some changes we could keep things like this from happening and end up with a happier country.

     I notice that crime is often high in minority neighborhoods. This is mostly because those minorities are often treated differently and often paid less than the majority people, although businesses say otherwise. In lower income areas the crime rates should probably be expected to be higher as people have a hard time getting by every day and often times might become tempted to steal things from other people. In these low income areas housing is often unkempt and most buildings seem to be deteriorated, which may cause the residents of the building to become less than pleased with the area around them.

     In these areas if we were to increase the rate at which income would come into these places it may improve the area overall. Say that government was to step in for once and help replace missing structures within housing and reinforce the walls so that the people actually have a solid foundation to live in. Secondly if we were to help the people in these areas find jobs that paid a decent enough amount of money so that they could get their lives in order we could have less crime.

     There is also much crime in major places such as bustling cites, as the people there find that they may have less responsibility there and attempt to steal things because they have less of a chance to get caught in the process of doing so. If officers were to be stationed in areas where there are higher crime rates it could efficiently lower the amount of crime within the area.

     Now we're on to drugs. Drugs are everywhere these days and they considerably destroy the people that use them. I believe that if a police officer were to even get a small hint both on and off duty of an area that people use drugs at was located they should be able to get a warrant for the home or property. This would substantially lower the amount of drug abuse in areas and raise the effectiveness of the economy so we may get out of our 14 TRILLION dollar debt.

     That is all.

  1. With the ghettos and boonies problem a lot (not all) don’t even have a high school diploma because they decided to drop out of. They get free money from the government. Since this happens they think they don’t need a high diploma. With the drug problems we will always have those problems but the ways listed above will conflict with the Bill of Rights by taking away freedom of privacy.
