How can we prevent crime?

Yes it is impossible to reduce and stop all of crime behavior but what we can do is try to eliminate the causes of crime. People need honest employment and a living wage in order to stay healthy and alive. Tens of thousands of people are addicted to deadly and or illegal drugs. Hundreds of violent gangs are selling those drugs to any person who has money and in other cases to children. They will be the future customers of those criminals. Drug addicts are usually unemployed, and get their money from committing acts of crime. Law enforcement should be more aggressive in the quest for criminals. The average wages for low income families or individuals should be between 18 and 20 thousand, this would give them enough money for a place to live and get all necessities needed like food and clothes. This will prevent people from being on the street and feeling like the only way to survive is to commit crime. Limitatons would be money!! Welfare should not be given out to people who are suitable to work, but i do believe they could be on welfare until they make a decent amount of money to be stable. They should not abuse it though, people on wlefare should be regulated! Money will always be an issue if people abuse it. Welfare should not be as easily given away there should be a process in which a candidate needs to follow.
