solution to solve crime

while it may be impossible to solve crime completely, there is something people can do today to significantly reduce it in the united states. since most crime is caused by economic struggles and environments with generally poor neighborhoods, this is where we need to shift our focus. while charities continue to pump money into these regions, the government needs to do what it can to bring the cities into a healthy and an overall better community to live in.

The government needs to first and foremost bring jobs back to the inner city. the unemployment rate for in the inner city for African American males is at 30%, much higher than the 9.7% national average. One way to bring jobs back would be to give business incentives to domestic companies who build and assemble their products in America. This could very well work because in recent months, the American people seemed to become more confident with American products, as seen with the Ford Motors financial gains the last few months.

After helping out the economy, the education trends in these areas would end because kids would stop dropping out of school and looking for jobs because their parents would finally be able to provide for them.

While it may be impossible to reduce crime significantly, helping out the economy may be one of the only answers to stop it from continuing the increasing trend.
