Terrorism has now become the biggest threat all over the world. After 9/11 no one is secured and no one can give surety of anyone’s home, life, and assets. People all over the world, feel insecure while being out of home and no one can grant the security of their belongings. Civilized countries and governments like the USA; Britain can also not be in a position to reduce the increasing crime rate in the world. The crime rate could be scrap by taking some primitive and strong measures at the government level. Strong implementation of policies and steps will help a lot in cracking down the crime. Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 gave primitive measures to control or crackdown crime rate.
Proposed change/measures and results
If the following measures would be taken to combat crime, their results would be fabulous. To achieve perfect results, the criminal agency needs to implement it strongly.
- Agency, FBI must support the COPS program and encourage young people to enter so those police departments should not undermanned because of the dearth of young talented qualified personnel.
- Support ex-offender to reduce crime and create wale fare -work partnership with them.
- Address gun Violence within cities to fight against terrorism.
- FBI must create emergency response plans and improve communication between all levels of government to create better evacuation plans to crack down on the crime rate in the U.S.
- Improve interoperable communication systems as proper communication helps in reducing the crime rate.
- Announce incentive payments for the agency’s actors who have done great jobs in 12 month period. This step will give more strength and passion to combat crime effectively than earlier.
- Risom Reform must be implemented immediately.
- Should announce youth service program (YSP) to train newcomers.
Negative Aspects of proposed Solutions
- These measures will increase competition among offenders.
- Actors need to be active 24/7 working hours.
Dr. White an international expert in the field of international terrorism, in his book, sees the definition of terrorism rather differently and when it comes to home land’s security it becomes more confusing. What’s the definition of terror and who will take a lead to define terror, USA or UN. Nowadays, it has been observed that the UN is playing the role of carrot and stick for the USA (Jonathan, 2004).
Resources Needed
To implement new measures support will be needed from every citizen plus agencies to make them result-oriented. These measures will require the support of Police actors, detective or private agencies, and the government criminal justice department. Overall, the crime rate could only be controlled with a strong coalition of a detective agency, criminal justice agencies, police inspectors, and police actors and at the top support of the government criminal justice department.
Crime rate is really increasing a lot in all parts of the world, who is responsible, no one could make clear justifications, but it is destroying our world badly. So, strong and wise measures are needed to be taken at the earliest (Jonathan, 2004).
This new piece of legislation will further support our record number of police officers in tackling and preventing crime and creating safer, stronger communities (Justice Minister Cathy Jamieson).
