क्रीम Prevention

It is said that the society prepares a crime and the criminal commits it. Again it is said that prevention is better than cure. From the first premise the government anywhere can help the youths by employment generation.This can be done through functional education.When youths are educated properly, they can become self employed in later life instead of recourse to crime thus reducing the incidents of crime in society.

Government can also build industries to absorb the teeming population.When people are gainfully employed incidents of crime can be reduced.Agricultural production is a good area of employment generation.The government can encourage the youths to engage in agriculture by giving soft loans to farmers.In so doing they make agriculture attractive to the youths and this will help to reduce crime rate.It is necssary to apply all the above mechanisms in order to prevent crime in society.The money used to effect the above solutions is really a good investment in human capital development.The youths are a good asset to government and no rational government can afford to allow her youths to be wasted away in criminal activities.

From the foregoing the crux of crime prevention lies in helping the youths to make the necssary social and economic adjustments to the society in which they find themselves.
