Crime wave
Crime has become a common phenomenon in our society nowadays. The rate of criminality is increasing drastically and in an alarming way. Each day we see various kinds of reports of crimes in the newspapers. But not all the crimes are reported. Only reports on smuggling, killing, rape and some unusual crimes are covered by the newspapers. These are done by a cluster of derailed youngsters. Political godfathers patronise them. A large number of educated youngsters are so much frustrated due to unemployment ,that they have no other choice but to get involved in such heinous deeds. They do not get the proper opportunity to do something worthwhile for society. On the other hand, our society is steeped in widespread corruption. The government should think seriously how it can combat crime and save the future generation from total ruination. Law and order must improve if you want to develop the country. Punishment for crimes must be exemplary.
However, crime cannot be rooted out without first awakening the people's sense of morality.
