Crime and Poverty in the UK

Currently, there are many social problems that lead to a disordered situation in the UK. Those social problems have a negative effect that could cause damages to  other people. There seems to be a relationships between those problems. The UK government  must find out the effective solutions to  repair the social problem as much as possible.This blog will consider the possible connection between crime and poverty in the UK

 

Firistly, crimes  exist in many countries and this is definitely normal. Those nasty acts may be committed for certain goals for example, to get money from other people who have worked hard to get this money. As a result, crimes threaten other people lives in the UK. Most of the offenders are teenagers, people out of  work who have no hope..Teenagers and children  could be more easily  attracted to do crime because they  may have faced difficult experiences in their life. According to Topping.A (2009) close to 80 % of crimes in the UK were commented by people who had bad behaviour like teenager and children.Consequantly, govrenment of the UK should look after the teenagers and children to to help them to avoide being a criminals. According to Association of Chief Officers (1993)"found that young offenders are invariably poor, often destitute and  barely able to muster significant resources to subsist". of Probation .Also, families are the top official about thier children behaviour because if they bring them up incorrectly that will effect their behaviour.  

 

 

 

Secondly, United kingdom trying hard to improve the livelihood for the citizen in its territory. The United kingdom has to find the positive solutions to help poor people and this solutions need perfect plan. According to Joseph Rowntree Foundation (nd) "For more than 100 years, we have investigated the root causes of poverty, monitoring its effects on people and places in the UK". Homelessness are one of the more poor people in the UK because they do not have houses and they live in street. Also, children suffer from some problems like do not find food to eat because they maybe live with poor families. According to Save the Children (2014)"This is the reality faced by 1.6 million children in the UK who are growing up in severe poverty. It shouldn’t happen here, but you can do something to help". Consequently, government of the UK must provide  charities to help children to grow up and make them optimistic of a better life. Also, if the percentage of poverty has decreased the percentage of crimes will decreased significantly.

Finally, crimes and poverty indeed threaten the social live in the UK. People who are poor maybe they steal from other people therefore, they become criminal because their situation forced them to do it. In addition, families must protect their children and teach them to respect the public and do not assault  other. Its recommendent that UK government must provide awareness centres for the criminal to help them solve their behaviour also, UK government must provide charities for poor people because they are needy and to avoid the negative consequences of poverty.

The role of news media

Nowaday, news media is useually the  main means of connecting the world together.  News media has many beneficial aspect beside useless aspect.People could be the more beneficiaries form news media, however, some people do not like news media because it cause sensitive between countries.Also news media shed the light on the important events around the world. However news media could effect the community by publishing rumours.

Firstly, news media help people to increase their knowledge about things have happened in other countries. Moreover, news media has made the business more easily than what it was in the bast. According to Raghuvanshi (2012), news media has many benefits for businessman because it proved for them the last news of the market around the world. Also they can watch the last news about stock market and know the price of gold, silver and other important companies, therefore, businessman must find out more and watching the news daily because if they miss one point it maybe cause for them compensation.

On the other hand, some news media send thier journalists abroad to gather news to show it in television. According to Mahoney (2010), "Seventy journalists were killed around the world in 2009, the highest toll ever recorded by the Committee to Protect Journalists in its nearly 30-year history".  For example, news channel send their journalist to places where there are wars and that threaten their life. However, some news media do not have credibility because they publish rumours. The goal of rumours making excitement for people and that is extremely negative. According to Pape.(tl),(2013)"People can then share it and comment on it, sometimes posting false information. Popular stories, for example, can reach more then 100,000 people. So you have to make sure the facts are correct".
