I think many local governments and communities fail to focus enough on crime prevention. They put most of their resources into catching perpetrators after the crime or during the crime.
Obviously, it makes more sense to take action before crimes happen than it does to wait until they happen.
I suggest that local governments work on pre-crime prevention. For one, they can educate the community about crime and how to prevent it. Self-defense classes also help. Additionally, reducing poverty can in turn reduce crime. Lastly, I suggest ensuring that children and teenagers have positive places to go in the community, and this entails helping ensure the children and teenagers can make longterm goals for a plausible positive future. Children and teenagers who have nowhere positive to go and feel hopeless will often turn to crime.

Yeah… This true… Crime prevention is more important than to cope with a case after it.. Teenagers are the largest group who commit crime.. Police should focus on them..:)
