If you would stop crime before it happens, one thing you should do is get everyone in a good job. A portion of those who become criminals do so because it is the best way they have of making a living. Now, getting everyone in a good job will be a tall order, but there are a few things we can do. Tonight, I shall deal with just one.
Train them.
Some don't graduate. And some graduate, but still can't find a job. We need a restart button for them both. Currently, when a person is out of a job, they go to the unemployment office. That's good. But how about we also send them to vocational training centers? Train them to be welders, or whatever. Go heavy on the self-employment training, because if they are self employed, they don't have to wait for someone to give them a job. They step out of your class and open up for business and are employed. Teach them how to succeed, give them the courage to fly,and send them out into the world employed.
So, I start this blog looking for a way to reduce crime, and end up coming up with an idea to reduce unemployment.
