Crime Solutions

Solutions for serious and popular crimes Almost everyone in American realizes that we have a crime problem. Being a criminal justice major, I will deal with crime my whole career.

Crime is a big problem in the United States. The swift and sure extermination will work, because most people value their lives more than taking someone else's life. It will work because people are scared of death, and the fast extermination
