Crime is a serious problem in big cities. And it is getting worse every year. This is what
police departments around the country said in their reports last week. There were more
robberies and murders this year than last year. The subways are more dangerous. The streets are
more dangerous. You may not even be safe in your own home.

Why is the problem so serious now? This is not an easy question to answer. There may not be a
single answer. Many problems together seem to make cities so dangerous.

One of the problems is money. To fight crime a city needs police officers, cars and guns. These
cost a lot of money. But right now cities do not have much extra money. So there are not enough
police officers, cars and guns for the cities.

Another problem is drugs. Crime studies show that many criminals use and sell drugs. After
they start taking drugs, they want to have more. But drugs are very expensive. So these people
may sell drugs to other people to make money. Or they may steal money to get more drugs.

there is an even more important cause of crime. Cities have rich and poor neighborhoods. In
the poor neighborhoods, the schools are often very bad. Jobs are hard to find. Manx' young
people don't have much hope for a better life. They only know one way to make a better living
for themselves. That way is to sell drugs or steal. So. some of these young people become
criminals.

It is not going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first change many of the
laws about drugs and guns. We much change the way cities spend the ir money. We must also
begin to make changes in the neighborhoods. Until then, the crime problem will not go away. And
we will live our lives in fear.
