Can we prevent crimes?
Jun 25th 2009 04:38
“Nothing can be done to prevent crime”. Such statement seems too inflexible as it is. I’d say: “nothing can be done to prevent all crimes all the time.” It might sound a little pessimistic, but it’s true. We’ll always have to face grief, pain and desolation as a result of countless varieties of crimes caused by an inherent corruption into the mind of the mankind.
Unfortunately, we’re prone to make bad choices and reap undesirable outcomes. The difference is that most of us have some self-control, but in time of need human beings can change drastically their personality. That’s why we can’t prevent all crimes every time or build a perfect society: because we are still plain humans. But we can improve on an environment by providing a higher level of education and security. In doing so, there will be a decrease in the attempts of crimes, since a higher level of social development was properly provided.
The Third World is well-known by having a high level of poverty and all sorts of crimes. This is a consequence of bad governments that haven’t provided the least welfare throughout the centuries. However, Brazil has been doing some progress regarding crime prevention and social development, as the population has been pleading for changes lately.
In its turn, even in a decent society no lacking primary needs there will be another kind of crimes, apparently harmless and committed underground, such as: political corruption, bribery, money laundering, extortion, etc. The environment can change, but the mindset is still the same – with tendency to ambition, greed and selfishness. Therefore, we prevent crimes not by kitting ourselves out in brand-new high-tech weapons or an efficient secret service, but by creating a whole environment that allows a definite change in our mindsets.
