Crime is a threat to peace, and in many countries around the world, criminal activities are burgeoning significantly. The prime reason for the increasing crime rate is unemployment and sudden provocation. This problem can be tackled if the government and people work together to diminish crime.

Lack of work opportunities leads people to commit the crime. Money is crucial for sustaining life. Doing work is the only way to earn money and buy commodities. In many places, people can not sustain their lives as they are unemployed. They remain jobless and might not even fulfil their basic needs. Therefore, they turn to illegal ways of earning for livelihood. Another conspicuous cause of crime is a sudden provocation. In recent times, work-related stress and environmental stress have increased. In this situation, they have lost their internal peace and patience. Mostly, they remained impatient and easily provoked by anyone. Delhi police, for instance, revealed that in the last two months of 2021, eight murders were the result of sudden provocation. There was no enmity or benefit behind committing such crimes. Offenders did it in anger as they lost their patience quickly.

The contribution of the government and people themselves can diminish the crime rate. The government should provide work as per the qualification of people. It will aid them to earn money and sustaining their lives. Besides, giving credit on less interest will also help them obtain money for starting their own business. Hence, they will avoid illegal activities to generate money. Also, people should come forward to alleviate this threat. They should try to control their temper in this fast-paced world by doing brain exercises such as meditation and yoga. Such practices can help them to understand the situation carefully and then react. Having a calm mind and patience will deter them from committing any crime.

In conclusion, burgeoning crime poses a threat to many countries. Unemployment and the sudden reaction of people are the major causes of this increasing problem. The government and people can combat this situation by providing earning opportunities and being patient, respectively. Thereby, criminal activities can be reduced to a large extent.
