VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE
Nowadays the number of crimes involving violence is growing in almost all countries in the world. The main cause of this development is undoubtedly the use of drugs especially in large cities. The higher rate of unemployment and growing racism are significant reasons too. Meaningless murders and assaults are the frightening results. Nowadays we can see how people not only in countries like the United States, but also in countries like Sweden, arm themselves with weapons for protection, but violence breeds violence.
It is often claimed that an efficient way to lower the number of acts of violence is to have more sever sentences. However, people who commit these crimes often have serious social and psychological problems. Many of them may therefore be indifferent to how severe the sentences are. Besides, these criminals do not think that they will ever get caught. Because of these reasons, there is a doubt that acts of violence will decrease if the governments make the sentences for this type of crime more severe.
A common measure to reduce the acts of violence is to increase the number of policemen patrolling the streets. Although this is a good way of preventing acts of violence, it will not actually stop people from becoming criminals.
Some people are convinced that it is impossible to erase the violence related criminality completely, but there is a way in which it can be reduced considerably. Children should be informed about crimes related to violence and drugs. This information should be given in kindergarten as well as in elementary school. Furthermore, it should especially reach those children who live in areas with high crime rates. The information should take the form of a discussion, not a lecture, led by some expert, preferably a local police officer.
Hopefully, the children would then at an early age already have some understanding of these problems that would be valuable to them for the rest of their lives. Although the costs for such a project would be considerable, the benefits would be great. It would certainly prevent many from becoming violent criminals in the future.

НАСИЛИЕ ПОРОЖДАЕТ НАСИЛИЕ
В настоящее время количество преступлений с применением насилия растет почти во всех странах мира. Основной причиной этого развития, несомненно, является использование наркотиков, особенно в крупных городах. Более высокий уровень безработицы и растущий расизм также являются значительными причинами. Бессмысленные убийства и нападения-пугающие результаты. Сегодня мы можем видеть, как люди не только в таких странах, как Соединенные Штаты, но и в таких странах, как Швеция, вооружаются оружием для защиты, но насилие порождает насилие.
Часто утверждается, что эффективный способ снижения числа актов насилия заключается в более строгом отбывании наказания. Однако у людей, совершающих эти преступления, часто возникают серьезные социально-психологические проблемы. Поэтому многие из них могут быть безразличны к тому, насколько суровы приговоры. Кроме того, эти преступники не думают, что их когда-нибудь поймают. Из-за этих причин есть сомнения в том, что акты насилия уменьшатся, если правительства сделают приговоры за этот вид преступления более суровыми.
Общей мерой по сокращению числа актов насилия является увеличение числа полицейских, патрулирующих улицы. Хотя это хороший способ предотвращения актов насилия, на самом деле это не помешает людям стать преступниками.
Некоторые люди убеждены, что невозможно полностью стереть преступность, связанную с насилием, но есть способ, с помощью которого ее можно значительно сократить. Детей следует информировать о преступлениях, связанных с насилием и наркотиками. Эта информация должна быть предоставлена в детском саду, а также в начальной школе. Кроме того, она должна охватывать прежде всего тех детей, которые живут в районах с высоким уровнем преступности. Информация должна иметь форму обсуждения, а не лекции, которую должен вести какой-то эксперт, предпочтительно местный полицейский.
Надеюсь, что дети тогда в раннем возрасте уже имеют некоторое представление об этих проблемах, которые будут ценны для них на всю оставшуюся жизнь. Хотя затраты на такой проект будут значительными, выгоды будут значительными. Это, безусловно, помешает многим стать насильственными преступниками в будущем.
