Crime: Circumstances - Challenges - How We Can Help
Circumstances
- We all have the ability and the capability to violate the criminal
law
- Law enforcement agencies can only reduce crime
- The criminal law itself, despite what it states, cannot stop
anyone from violating it
Challenges
- Law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system
personnel cannot fight all crime by themselves and cannot prevent all crime from happening
- Sometimes, when experts suspect and believe that someone is
likely to break the criminal law, they cannot precisely tell the time, the location, and how he will do so
- Even psychologists cannot help with the prevention of all crime
- Even when the system provides stiff penalties and the ultimate
sentence for those who commit serious crimes, people continue to break the law
- Newspapers, TV, and radios continuously report crime and their
consequences, yet crime keeps on happening and people continue to be victims of it
- Some who come out of jail find their way right back in for
violating the criminal law again
- Despite arrests, prosecutions, convictions, and sentences, the
criminal law is being broken every single day
- Law enforcement officers and personnel are on the streets and
make their presence known, but that does not stop some individuals from breaking the law
- Day-by-day some individuals are scanning through new ways of
breaking the law
- Unless somebody can control someone else’s ideas, thoughts,
emotions, capabilities, and abilities to act and react, there is little we can do to prematurely prevent crime from being committed
- Practice individual discipline, act responsibly, and do
everything with justice
- Law enforcement agencies need everyone's help to combating
crime
- We all need to not behave criminally, and act accordingly
- While the criminal justice system is doing all it can to protect
and serve us, we also need to help it by not violating the criminal law ourselves
- We all need to think about what we want to do before we do it
and avoid doing what can lead to the violation of the criminal law
- Report crime and suspicious persons and activities to law
enforcement
- Become involved with your local law enforcement agencies in
combating crime
- Help stop crime before it happens, always be on alert, and
contact and follow our local law enforcement agencies guideline on how to deal with crime
- One of the best ways to help with the prevention of crime is for
every single one of us not to violate the criminal law ourselves. - Roldimy Montinar
- The criminal law itself, despite of what it states, cannot stop
some people from violating it. Law enforcement agencies can only reduce crime. But every single one of us can eliminate crime by practicing individual discipline, acting responsibly, and doing everything with justice. Roldimy Montinar
- The ability, the capability, and motives to break the criminal law are within our control and ourselves. We can make sure that no criminal law is broken again and we can help do that by not, first of all, violating it ourselves.
