Crime Levels: Statements.
Anti-social behaviour, which can range from minor to major offences, is a serious problem in my area. If young people get involved in anti-social behaviour, the chances are they will become involved in more serious crime later on. I saw children as young as eight years of age set fire to public lighting in my area and one wonders what they might do when they get older. The extension of a community warden service throughout local authorities would be a good measure. Park rangers should also be in place in all our parks, which currently is not case as local authorities do not have the necessary funding to provide for them.
