Hey my name is Ramie M. I am in Mr. Sal’s 20th century class period 1. I am writing about Crime. Crime is an action or an instance of negligence that is deemed injurious to the public welfare or morals or to the interests of the state and that is legally prohibited. Crime is something every country has and is world wide. Today’s crime is a lot worse than in the 1890’s.
Today’s crime mostly deals with violence and drugs. Like most people today are caught with illegal drugs and that is a big crime. Also, violence plays a big role in crime. Most people are put to jail. Police officers, Presidents, and people tried to prevent these things from happening but it didn’t work. In the 1890’s most of the crime delt with stealing which mostly revolved around the poor people cause they didn’t have the money to buy certain things so it made them have to steal. Hanging people and torturing them was a big problem. Also, race was a big issue back then which made the whites and blacks fight over different things. The civil rights came into play and tryed to stop these bad things , and the goverment also tryed to stop the crimes. In my oppinion I don’t think you can fix crime because no matter what happens it takes people to want to change and stop doing the things they do.
