Example 2 
Nowadays,
the increase in 
the 
crime level has become one of the most important 
issues that almost all citizens and governments are concerned about around the 
world. However,
what are the main reasons 
for
crime happening? 
A
nd what are the 
most effective solutions to stop the crime 
rate 
increasing annually? 
These will
be 
explained in this essay. 
First of all, it is clear that the most significant reason of 
the 
crime 
level 
rising is that 
there are few job opportunities 
for
those people who 
don’t 
have 
a 
home or any 
shelters to live in. As a result,
some people perhaps will resort to criminal activities in 
the aim of earning some money to survive .
The solution is the government providing 
more employment and building inexpensive accommodation units
,
like shelters for 
homeless people. 
Another cause of the growth in 
the 
crime rate is the trading of drug
s
which is 
practiced
by drug dealers
.
T
hese people can influence teenagers
,
especially those 
who suffer from broken families that either 
have
divorced parents or 
a 
single mother 
or father
.
T
hus they feel
lonely
and more subjected to consume drugs 
accompanied
by
the smoking and alcohol drinking.
The way forward for this problem might be by 
introducing stricter laws to punish those who are responsible 
for the
drug business. 
To sum up,
the governments must sort the issue of 
the constant 
crime rate expansion
and urgently 
try
to improve the standard of living among people and make the 
penalty for drug dealers tougher to minimize crimes significantly.
