Public law of United States of America Cover the following aspects:

Education

Education is the action or the process to develop ones mental and moral skill. It is one of the most determinate factors for the reduction of crime in any society; it is the level and the amount of resources given to educational institutions because education is essential to the development of society. It is very important that both political and economical agents concentrate on education if they're ever serious about a reduction in crime.

Increased Employment Opportunities

Another factor in decreasing the crime rate is to provide adequate and fulfilling employment. As mentioned before when a country faces high unemployment the crime rate tends to increase. The agenda of the political leaders should be to place a halt on the different corporations that outsource their labor. Outsourcing is done in order to maximize profit by evading environmental laws and the reducing labor cost. A perfect example of this would be the unemployment rates in Flint, Michigan from 1990 to 2004.

A great example for this situation would be Martha Stewart who was found guilty of two counts of lying to investigators, of conspiracy with a broker to hide the truth about her stock transaction and the obstruction of justice. (Agel, 2000, 15) These counts arise for her selling 3800 shares of personal stocks in ImClone avoiding a potential a large amount of money lost by selling the day before. As a result Martha Stewart received the penalty of only six months incarcerated and six months under house arrest. This penalty I feel was not sufficient enough for such a crime.

Reducing Drug Use

The solution to crime in the United States begins with the eradication or control of drugs in the country. Drugs are a very important issue which must be dealt with if a country would want to reduce its crime. The reasons why this is true stems from the very nature that drugs are substances that causes an addiction (cocaine, marijuana, heroin, or crack), which in turn causes a change in ones mental status or psychological ...
