Crime is increasing in modern society for several reasons: laws and punishments are not strict enough, which does not deter criminals; the homeless sometimes commit crimes to receive benefits of imprisonment like food and shelter; and teenagers are influenced by violent media and seek approval from peers. Additionally, inequality divides society into classes and some turn to crime to obtain money; gangs and groups provide a sense of belonging for those lacking family support and can enable criminal acts. Overall, stricter laws, social programs, parental involvement, community support, and addressing issues like poverty, drugs, and weapons are needed to curb rising crime rates.

Problem of crime in modern society.
Crime is increasing in our society. We often ask ourselves „why?”. There are many
reasons.
Firstly the law isn’t strict enough for criminals, so many of them aren’t afraid of
punishment. Criminals spend too little time in prison and they have too good conditions
there. In many countries, as in Poland, there isn’t death penalty, however it would help us
to stop increasing violence and crime and it would be a warning for criminals.
Another problem is that often the homeless commit crime to go to prison because they
have food free of charge, bed, TV and other entertainments. I think that our government
should be more interested in these people and try to help them (give them places to live,
meals).
Everybody knows that many crimes are committed by teenagers. They often want to
have more friends and they decide to commit a crime to impress them. The young also try
to stay against their parents, they want to get money without work and to be independent.
TV has huge influence on their behaviour. It shows them the world full of crime and brutal
sex, without friendship, love and other important feelings in many thrillers and crime series.
It isn’t strange that after watching a film, like „Pulp Fiction” or „Rambo”, crime may seem
funny to teenagers. In cartoons there is also bad behaviour, for example a main hero of
this film beats others. In films an actor doesn’t die but in real life people do.
Our society nowadays is divided into classes: rich, well-to-do, poor. Poor people, who
start their life in poor families or families with the problem of alcoholism, need money and
may attack rich (or well to do) people to get money. They usually hate them, because they
also would like to live in beautiful villas and have expensive cars. It may be next cause of
attacks on people.
Sects, football fans, skins are also very dangerous. Adults often don’t have time for
their children and teenagers don’t feel important and needed so they join these groups.
Then they can commit crimes with their new „friends”.
We can meet robbers everywhere: on the street, in the school, in shops, in the park.
Sometimes a robber wants us to give him money but if we don’t have it he doesn’t believe
us and often we are beaten and eventually we go to hospital. From time to time boys beat
others for fun - it is one of causes of accidents.
The situation, when people have a gun illegally is also an important cause of crime.
They can often buy weapon on „black market”. If criminals have guns, they feel safe and
can frighten or use them against innocent people.
Another thing is that alcohol and drugs also have big influence on crime in our society.
Often drug addicts want to have money for drugs and attack people. many crimes are
committed by drunk men or women.
In my opinion we have to try to stop increasing crime in our society. we should devote
more time to our children, we ought to help and co-operate one another, give money for
the poor, pay attention to people screaming. This is an easy way to live better and more
safely.
