Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

In some countries, even though the rates of serious crimes are decreasing, 
people feel less safe than ever before. What do you think are the causes of 
this problem and what measures could be taken to solve it?
In some nations, despite declining rates of dangerous crimes, people tend to feel 
less secure compared to the past. The most obvious causes are previously

committed crimes and detailed description of such scenes on news can make 
people feel less safe, and the most viable solutions are more safety measures in 
place and detailed description of any serious crimes should be banned on news 
channels. 
Sometimes, previously committed crimes can make people feel less protected. 
This is because they still have memories of horrible crimes in their minds and 
make them feel frightened. As a result, they find it difficult to trust anyone and 
feel less secure in strengers’ presence. In addition, watching 
detailed 
descriptions of any dangerous crimes on television can have a destructive effect 
on people’s mental health. In other words, a negative visualization of such 
crimes can result in crime happening in people’s heads and making them feel 
less safe. For example, 1 in every 30 adults in the UK feel frightened after 
watching detailed news of serious crimes on television, and not wanting to go 
out. 
A possible solution to this issue is to put more safety measures in place in order 
for people to feel safe. This gives them a sense of security and a way to seek 
help if in any danger. Another possible solution is a ban on a detailed 
description of any serious crimes on television. This will help people keep away 
from a negative visualisation and their damaging effects on their mental health 
to make them feel unsafe. For example, recently in India a show called ‘crime 
patrol’ was prohibited on news channels because it had a negative 
psychological impact on people after watching it. 
In conclusion, previously committed crimes and detailed news on any serious 
crimes can lead to people feeling less safe. However, this can simply be 
prevented by putting extra safety measures in place and compelling news 
channels to stop showing comprehensive details of dangerous crimes.
