Crime and Punishment

Crime could be defined as an act of people to commit something bad which is illegal. Usually when people do committed crime they are locked up in a prison and the main purpose of this prison should be punishment.

Nowadays the more common crime is the juvenile crime which is very hard for any government to control. There are some few kinds of common juvenile crime such as joy-riding, vandalism, and graffiti and a punishment which could be helpful and better is to catch these young and keep them for a week in a prison. Political activists also should never break the law because they are the one supposed to give example to the citizens about how to respect the law.

One other big problem in the world is people who drink and drive., the law should be very strict with them because driving while you are drunk could make you made an accident; and to stop` that there should be a law establishing that when you drink and drive the police should take your car to the pound. In the UK, the most serious problem is social security fraud, according to Murphy.R. (2011) “…. Then benefit fraud is 624 times more important than tax evasion”. In Cameroun, both are the most serious because people poor and unemployed people do not receive help from the government and they are really tempted to fraud on everything and a solution to avoid this is to control everything.
